Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 123
He came over and stood with her, her head only reached his shoulder, looking up at him: "Do you think there will be another storm in this weather?"

King Qin stretched out his hand, as if grabbing a handful of moist air, looked at the seabirds that had gone away, and shook his head: "No, the weather won't change much in these two or three days."

Hua Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you get scared by the storm that day?"

"Yeah, I always thought that I would be buried in the bottom of the sea."

"Girl, don't be afraid. If you stay with me from now on, you don't have to be afraid of any storm."

She was faintly afraid, of course not because of the "storm", but because of the upcoming "storm" emotionally - King Qin helped her this time, so what should I do?
According to his personality, he was able to find himself after many years. Now, he went to find him instead, how could he give up?

She forced a smile: "King Qin, if you can escape, I will definitely give you a gift when you get married."

"How can I marry someone else?"

She insisted: "Yes! I saw it! You have many women."

Now she's caught the handle, but what should I do?
"I won't look for anyone else in the future, really..."

"You found it! So, you are not allowed to say that I am your wife anymore."

King Qin was too angry to speak.

He changed the subject: "Girl, who are the important officials that Zhao Deji is currently appointing?"

She sighed: "Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan, etc..."

"I'm right. These two are shameless flatterers. It seems that Zhao Deji is not much different from his father. I really don't know if it's worth it or not for us to save him..."

Hua Rong didn't answer. Recently, she has been feeling this kind of strong feeling more and more, but she suppressed it again and again, reminding herself——Ninth Prince, he once saved her life!

If he hadn't rescued him back then, he would have been buried in the belly of a fish long ago, how could he still be strolling around here at this moment?

It's just that things are different and people are different. The people in my memory have already changed their appearance, and my grateful heart has gradually developed a grudge.

She secretly sighed, knowing that if she followed King Qin's words, not only would he be shaken, but she would also be shaken.

"Girl, once Zong Ze died, the imperial court lost its pillar, and Zhao Deji didn't have any trusted guards around him, and no ministers with arms, how could he be successful?"

She reluctantly said: "Yue Pengju has repeatedly defeated the golden soldiers..."

"Yue Pengju?"

Yue Pengju repented of the marriage and openly declared that he would marry Hua Rong, which touched the dragon's beard. Zhao Deji sent him far away to the battlefield and fled temporarily, not caring about settling personal grievances. In the future, he would sit firmly on the dragon chair. Thinking of today's humiliation, how could he let him go?
However, King Qin didn't want to mention Yue Pengju at this moment. He quietly looked at Hua Rong, saw her leaning on the railing, looking at the sea in the distance, and wondered if she was thinking about Yue Pengju.

He was very unhappy in his heart, and said calmly, "How could Zhao Deji really trust him? Yue Pengju, be smart enough to leave as soon as possible, otherwise, he will be a dead dog again, and all birds will be hidden..."

Hua Rong was worried, and it was the same, but when he had to say it, it was always unpleasant to hear, so he turned around and leaned on the railing again, but refused to agree.

"Girl?"

"Girl??"

King Qin yelled twice, like this every time, whenever Yue Pengju was mentioned, he obviously felt inferior to him.Angrily, he was about to get angry when he saw her looking up at a seabird flying by, with a thin back, and he couldn't bear to get angry anymore, and warned himself again and again:
This is truly the last chance!

If she and Yue Pengju got married, it would be too late for him to do anything!

No, no matter what, you must seize this opportunity.

He took a deep breath, and he didn't know why every time in front of her, she was happy, angry, weak, and sad, so he would be defeated.

"Girl..."

She raised her head and saw that he was handing over a large fruit, which was exactly the kind of fruit that borne on the big eucalyptus-like tree that she had seen yesterday.She said it was delicious, so he took some on board.

She was feeling a little thirsty, so she picked up the fruit and ate it silently.After eating half, King Qin handed over the other half as well.She shook her head: "No, you can eat."

"I don't like this kind of children's food, you eat it."

She took the fruit and took another bite. He saw a smile slowly appear on her face, and said softly: "Girl, I brought a big basket in the cabin, you can eat as much as you want."

"Ah."

Besides, Zhao Deji and the others spent two precarious days on the boat, and did not see Hua Rong for a long time. The longer they waited, the more impatient they became. Fortunately, they knew his identity on Friday and knew that this was a golden opportunity. If you escape the catastrophe, you will be a great hero. Therefore, you should be respectful, serve carefully, and entertain everyone with all the products on the island.

However, the golden army was approaching day by day, and he and others couldn't live on this deserted island for a long time. Zhao Deji couldn't eat and drink even if he was facing delicacies from mountains and seas.On this day, he returned to the island ahead of schedule on Friday to return to his command. Seeing that he was the only one, everyone's heart sank.

Zhao Deji hurriedly said: "Where's Hua Rong? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Hurry to salute on Friday: "Miss Hua Rong is sick, King Qin said that when she recovers, he will bring her back in person."

"Sick? Why did you get sick? King Qin made things difficult for her?"

"It's just a fever from the rain. King Qin personally took good care of her and said that when she gets better, he will send her back immediately."

Zhao Deji heaved a sigh of relief, and Xu Caizhi nodded secretly.Since King Qin didn't make things difficult for Hua Rong, he and the others would be saved.Sure enough, Friday said: "King Qin invites everyone to go to the island, so that they can live in peace, and fear the Jin army's surprise attack..."

Xu Caizhi hurriedly said, "How far is the Jin Army from here?"

"The Golden Army has colluded with a pirate force here, and we are not sure for the time being."

Zhao Deji was even more panicked, secretly hating the pirate leader for showing off and not coming.

After surviving one night in such a hurry, on the second day, everyone found that Zhao Deji's eyes were full of redness and his lips were covered with blood blisters.Even though Eunuch Kang tried to serve carefully, it was of no avail, and he still had trouble sleeping and eating.

Lin Zhijie and his son kept guarding him, and dozens of sailors and handymen on board also temporarily formed a guard team. Looking at this improvised army, Zhao Deji had mixed feelings, but he didn't feel safe at all.

Early in the morning, he came to the beach to look out.

In the distance, I heard the sound of a horn, and dozens of warships roared over. The leader was a tall five-toothed warship, with a huge sail, and a huge flag hanging on it, with the inscription "Qin" Character.

Zhao Deji's coastal defense was short, and the general of the coastal defense at that time had passed away, but he was no stranger to this big word, and he was shocked—it really was the pirate who had fought against it back then.

However, how did King Qin's influence expand to this sea area?
Now that the pirate leader is here, is it a blessing or a curse?
As the boat approached slowly, everyone held their breath and focused, even Zhou Qi and Friday panicked: What decision will King Qin make?
Zhao Deji looked nervously at an extremely tall and burly man standing on the boat, wearing heavy pirate armor and holding a big knife, like a majestic lion king, and beside him, the petite woman who followed was Hua Rong.

Zhao Deji saw it clearly, Xu Caizhi said in a low voice first: "My God, King Qin is Qin Shangcheng?"

Eunuch Kang was even more overjoyed, his voice was high-pitched and thin: "It's him, it's Qin Shangcheng."

Zhao Deji's heart tightened, he didn't expect that this big pirate leader had been in the barracks for so long without him noticing, and even wanted to reward him, no wonder he refused to accept it.

What was his purpose in sneaking into the barracks?
Could it be that he was really looking for Hua Rong?
Before he could recover, he heard Qin Dawang yell: "Everyone, hurry up and get on the boat, we found traces of the Jin army ahead."

The word "Golden Army" was like a reminder, Zhao Deji subconsciously ran towards the boat with big strides.

Everyone also immediately entered the fighting state.

Hua Rong jumped off the boat and rushed over: "Guys, don't panic, the Jin army won't be able to catch up for a while."

Zhao Deji was still in shock, King Qin said loudly: "Zhou Qi, take everyone to the five-tooth warship."

Zhou Qi knew what he meant. The Lin family's merchant ship had been hit by a storm and was badly damaged. He nodded. Lin Zhijie was alert and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, get on the warship first."

Hua Rong also whispered: "Officials, go up."

Although Zhao Deji couldn't trust King Qin, he believed in Hua Rong. Seeing her in full military attire, holding a bow and arrow in her hand, guarding herself with all her body, he felt relieved: "Rong'er, are you alright?"

"I am fine."

Hearing his "Rong'er", King Qin couldn't help but sternly said: "Everyone, don't dawdle, the Niaojin Army is here..."

Everyone flocked to board the boat. In a panic, Zhao Deji discovered that, except for the sailors of the Lin family, King Qin's pirates were not chaotic at all when advancing and retreating, and they were completely well-trained.

No wonder he has been able to move freely for many years.He wanted to recruit King Qin, but he didn't make a show of it, he didn't ask Hua Rong or King Qin, he just followed Xu Caizhi to the deck, after a while, he saw a ship chasing him faintly behind him.

It was only then that he realized that what King Qin said was true. Presumably, the Jin Army found himself and others after searching for the past few days.He looked at Qin Dawang's pirate army of less than 200 people, and Lin Zhijie's dozens of sailors, and his heart sank. With less than 300 people, how could it resist the Jin army's tens of thousands of troops?Even if there are not enough ships to carry much, there are at least tens of thousands of chasing troops, how can I resist it?

He clung to the side of the boat, his face was pale, could it be that, as God intended, he would be the same as his father and brother, unable to escape this calamity?
He turned his head and saw Hua Rong standing next to him, concentrating on it, holding a bow and arrow, his heart was even more miserable, and he said in a low voice: "Rong'er, maybe it's God's will..."

Seeing that he was completely frustrated, Hua Rong hurriedly said: "The officials don't have to be like this! The Jin army is still a long way away. As long as we can make a detour and make a few more round trips, we can land to Zhenjiang..."

"I'm afraid Zhenjiang has already been occupied by the Jin army. What's more, the Jin army is about to catch up..."

"There are rescuers along the way to the official house. Even if the big storm has escaped, don't worry, this time the danger will be saved."

Hearing her comfort, Zhao Deji recalled that he was fleeing at night, had to meet an old fisherman, and was escorted by Lin Zhijie and others in a storm, and now that King Qin was there, and his power was much more dangerous than the previous two times, he reluctantly nodded, Make up your mind: "I hope so. If you escape this catastrophe, the people on board will all be my great heroes."

Hua Rong was also afraid in his heart, but smiled slightly: "They will definitely be loyal to the officials."

Zhao Deji really didn't dare to believe King Qin completely, but when he saw him coming over, he stared at him covetously, and suddenly remembered the wedding dress that Hua Rong wore when he fled, which made him even more confused. Hua Rong insisted that he was married to Yue Pengju, and now Qin How should the king deal with himself?He gave a wry smile, knowing that he would not be able to join in the fun no matter what.

In order to disarm King Qin, he immediately stood up straight: "Qin Shangcheng, how is the situation now?"

King Qin's face was gloomy: "The Goujin army probably colluded with that group of pirates, otherwise, they would never have caught up so quickly. If so, it would be difficult to deal with."

"Is there anyone in the Golden Army who is proficient in water warfare?"

Hua Rong said: "I heard that under Jin Wushu's command there is a Han general named Han Chang, who is from the south and is familiar with water warfare."

"It's this Han Chang who colluded with that group of pirates. The pirates are called Wang Erqi according to the ranking. I once sent people to attack, but they failed to win..."

King Qin didn't finish his sentence, and suddenly said: "No, Wang Erqi is also familiar with the express passage. If we lead troops to guard and arrive early, we will be flanked..."

Zhao Deji's relaxed mood tensed again, but he saw King Qin waved his hand and shouted: "Speed ​​up, all ships are moving at full speed, make sure to get to the passage before dark..."

Immediately, there was another signal used by the pirates to notify the contact, whining, very shrill.
