Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 67 Hunting
A group of guards in plain clothes followed, and everyone galloped out of the barracks and headed for the woodland ahead.

After galloping for seventy or eighty miles, the fast horse stopped at a mountain pass. The mountain was densely forested, and occasionally wild animals rushed past.Jin Wushu ordered all the guards to disperse to hunt, he and Hua Rong got off the horse, but felt thirsty, saw there were two or three people around, so he wanted to beg for some water.The two turned east and west to go to the nearest family. After the Jin army and the Song army took turns to search, it was already empty.

The bamboo fences of this family are sparse, the door is dilapidated, it is very deserted, and there is no fireworks at all.Seeing that the fence gate was half open, Wu Shu tied his horse to the tree stump in front of the gate, went to the gate and knocked on it, asking, "Is anyone there?"

Not long after, a white-haired mother-in-law walked out, holding a cane in her hand, and said tremblingly, "Who are you looking for?"

Wu Shu made a bow: "Old mother, I am a passerby, here to beg for a drink of saliva."

The old woman said: "What kind of person are you dressed up for? Where are you going?"

"A certain family is Wushu, the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Jin..." Before Wushu finished speaking, the mother-in-law picked up the crutch and hit her on the head.

Ordinary people are all horrified when they hear that it is a golden soldier, but this old woman behaved like this.Hua Rong was shocked, the tiger plucked the hair from its mouth, how could this old lady survive?Seeing that Jin Wushu stepped aside immediately, he said in a loud voice: "I miss you, and I am old. A certain family doesn't care about you, but I have to make it clear, why did the old woman beat me?"

It's fine if he doesn't say anything, but when he did, the old lady rushed over like crazy: "The one I want to beat is you, the gold thief, and you're the one who killed my son..."

"Wait a minute, old lady, who is your son?"

"Li Ruoshui!"

Jin Wushu let out a long sigh: "Forget it, it's really a narrow road to enemies, and today I met Li Shilang's mother!"

It turned out that when Jin Wushu first attacked the Song Dynasty, he captured Li Ruoshui who was struggling to resist. Li Ruoshui was escorted back to Beijing with a large number of surrenders, but he would rather die than submit. The only minister who died for his country at that time.

Jin Wushu sighed: "It turns out that you are Li Shilang's mother! There are so many traitorous officials in the Song Dynasty, and Li Shilang is a rare loyal minister, and a certain family also admires him very much. Alas, Bo Ren died because of me... "

Hua Rong sneered: "Jin Wushu, stop being hypocritical..."

Leaning on crutches, the old woman burst into tears: "I am over 80 years old, and I only had one son. I depended on him to take care of me until the end of my life. You, a thief, ruined my life. I am alone and have no one to rely on! Today I saw the murderer and the enemy. What's the use of this old life, it's better to fight!" While weeping, he picked up his crutches and beat him.She was old, and she chased and beat her for a while, but she couldn't catch her breath and fainted to the ground.

Hua Rong rushed over and was about to help her, when two guards rushed over after hearing the sound, and they had already helped her up at Jin Wushu's signal.

"Wu Qimai, take five hundred pieces of silver and give it to the old lady for food."

"Yes."

"Take one side of the command flag and place it at the front of the door. The soldiers and horses of Yue Jin are forbidden, and they are not allowed to come in and harass."

"Yes."

Wu Qimai helped Granny Li to enter the door, Hua Rong squatted on the ground, grabbed a handful of snow, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it away.

"Hua Rong, do you think I'm hypocritical?"

Over the years, Hua Rong had also seen the actions of the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was mostly a fact that he was honest and shameless.But seeing him questioning, he still said bitterly: "What good intentions do you have?"

"The confrontation between the two countries is naturally for the national interest. However, the so-called heroes value heroes! The civil and military soldiers of the Song Dynasty are all greedy for life and fear of death, untrustworthy and unrighteous. You have also witnessed the scene of the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers betraying women in the military camp. How can you have half a bone? In my memory, Li Ruoshui is the only loyal minister, so it is common to look up to his mother."

Hua Rong thought of the world-famous "six thieves" and the ugliness of the monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty who went to Jinying to negotiate, and was choked speechless.Seeing her pale face, Jin Wushu turned his head and said without continuing, "Let's go hunting."

The forest farm is too small, and after rounds of chasing, there is not much prey at all.Jin Wushu chased him for a while, only got some hares and the like.Hua Rong sat listlessly on the horseback, Jin Wushu glanced at her, and suddenly said: "Hua Rong, your leg injury is not healed, you should take a rest first."

Hua Rong didn't answer, and the expression on his face was even colder.

With a sound of "swipe", Jin Wushu saw that her eyes couldn't help but follow the wild things that jumped out, and she was originally weak, but suddenly became colorful and exiled, like a drunkard seeing fine wine.

Suddenly there was a very strange feeling in my heart, as if I was galloping freely on the ice and snow in my hometown.He always yearns for the scenery of the Southern Dynasty, and the women of Jin Dynasty are basically illiterate, let alone discuss poetry and papers with him.He first married a woman from the leader of a clan, but he didn't have any feelings for him, because the woman died soon after.Later, when I fought in the Southern Dynasties, I knew a lot of southern women with red sleeves and fragrance, but they were more than soft and charming, and they had no heroic spirit. Let alone riding and shooting, it was impossible to walk a few steps quickly with a pair of small feet.

And the woman beside her at this moment can be said to be able to add fragrance to her sleeves at night and fight side by side during the day.The elegance of the southern country and the heroic spirit of the northern country are perfectly integrated into one body.If you want a concubine slave, you can wave your hand. Such a favorite woman is the fate of this life.

Such a her, why must she prostrate at his feet?What's the fun in turning her into a lowly slave girl?
In the blink of an eye, Hua Rong saw Jin Wushu meet her gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly shouted: "Wu Qimai!"

Wu Qimai came forward in response, took out a bow and arrow and handed it to him.

"Hua Rong, here you are."

Hua Rong saw that it was her own bow and arrow.After being arrested, Jin Wushu was afraid that she would commit suicide, so he confiscated her bow and arrow. She searched for it a few times secretly, but she couldn't find it. She thought that he had already destroyed it.

She was very surprised, but immediately held the arrow tightly.

At this time, Jin Wushu was standing side by side with her, and when she saw her hold the bow and arrow, her whole body seemed to change, the pale and powerless look on her face disappeared immediately, and her face was radiant, full of energy, and unparalleled in beauty.He suddenly had a whimsical thought, if he could marry a wife like this, and be by his side forever, how enjoyable it would be?
While he was in a daze, two hares rushed out, and a guard responded with an arrow, but the shot missed.It turned out that this place was barren, and the hares were hungry and thin. They ran fast, and they were even more difficult to shoot than usual.Everyone was depressed when they saw a goshawk fly by in the sky, Hua Rong pulled it away with an arrow, and only heard a "whoosh", the goshawk fell to the ground, the arrow swooped down along with the goshawk, and the arrow fell to the ground. It turned out to be two prey. It turned out that she shot the goshawk and then shot the hare.

"it is good!"

Everyone couldn't help cheering.All the guards looked at Hua Rong in amazement. Although most of the women in the Kingdom of Jin were good at riding, there were very few who were good at shooting. Once I realized that the Southern Dynasty woman brought back by the Fourth Prince was indeed different.

Jin Wushu laughed loudly, jumped off the horse, picked up the two rabbits himself, ran back, and held them up in front of her eyes like offering treasures: "Hua Rong, good arrow skills, hahaha, really worthy of a master archer..."

Looking at Jin Wushu's smiling face, her heartbeat suddenly quickened - at this moment, he was defenseless, if she shot down with an arrow, would she be able to pierce his throat?She changed her mind slightly, and as soon as she drew the bow, Jin Wushu got on the horse and galloped alongside her: "Hua Rong, how did you practice such good archery?"

She regretted the missed opportunity just now, and said with a smile: "If one day, it can shoot through your throat, it will be a really good arrow technique!"

Jin Wushu seemed to be poured down by a basin of cold water, and ruthlessly threw the hare and goshawk to the ground, and said loudly: "Go back! I'm so bored."

Along the way, Jin Wushu was depressed and never spoke again.It was evening when I ran back to the tent.Hua Rong got off the horse, her legs were sore, the injured part was bumped all day, and when she landed, she almost fainted from the pain.

Jin Wushu walked up to her, saw her pale face, pulled her, frowned and said, "What? The wound is open?"

"go away!"

He couldn't help but pull her into the room, only to see that her injured leg was obviously swollen.He shouted loudly, and two servant girls hurried in. He took out an amber bottle and lifted the lid: "You paint Miss Hua."

"Yes."

He turned to go out, and the guard Wu Qi stepped forward to report: "Fourth Prince, Second Prince invites you to the banquet."

He nodded, looked at the closed door again, turned and left.

Two maids applied medicine to Hua Rong, his leg was swollen and numb, and he didn't feel any pain for a while.

Hua Rong watched the maid stay aside, and said casually, "You were arrested too?"

The two looked sad and said in detail, one was Tian Bi'er and the other was Cui Xiaohuan.

Cui Xiaohuan has a well-behaved appearance and a quiet demeanor, with tears in her eyes: "Slaves and maidservants were originally officials' ladies. When they were sent to the Golden Camp, there were more than 6000 people, but now there are only more than 4000 people left. Under the tents of other princes, sisters Every day we are raped by the golden army who are not as good as beasts, and the casualties are heavy. The fourth prince is the best here, at least we have not been tortured to death..."

"Where are the princesses and concubines?"

"Most of them were taken in as concubines by the marshals. Some of them were unfortunately reduced to official prostitutes. The servants saw several princesses and princesses being violently abused by the generals of the Jin soldiers in turn. Jin Jun insulted...Miss, if the Fourth Crown Prince accepts you as a concubine, there is nothing to be afraid of..."

Hua Rong looked up at the night outside, the golden branches and jade leaves of the Song Dynasty, now being able to be a general of the Jin Kingdom is the best way out.The rest of the ten women are nine prostitutes, losing both their fame and their lives.

"Miss, the Fourth Prince has prepared a New Year's Eve banquet for you."

"Okay, let's have a New Year's dinner together."

The two quickly shook their heads, "Slaves don't dare." She knew they were afraid of being punished by Jin Wushu, so she didn't invite them any more, and ate hastily by herself, and called Xiaohuan who put away the bowl: "Where are the beads?"

Xiaohuan lowered her voice: "The fourth prince forbids Princess Tianwei to go out."

Hua Rong didn't ask any more questions, obviously Jin Wushu was afraid that she would come into contact with him, so he controlled her.

Xiaohuan took out some books: "Miss, this is what the fourth prince told you, if you are bored, you can read it..."

Hua Rong looked at the box full of ancient rare books, all of which had the seals of the royal library, obviously they were scavenged by the Jin army.Now, Jin Wushu was presented in front of him in a big way, obviously to show off and demonstrate.

She let out a long sigh, and pulled out a roll, which turned out to be a handwritten copy of Wang Anshi.Scrolling down, the authentic works of poets and poets can be seen vividly, and I don't know where Jin Wushu collected such a complete collection of so many precious things.

Like a drunkard who sees good wine—but it is poisonous, and every time he picks it up, it is a shameful imprint of the fall of an empire.
