Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 57

This bite of chicken tasted like chewing meat immediately, and along the way, I saw that he treated Hua Rong in every possible way, not like a brother treats a sister at all, but like a brother treats a sister, even more caring and considerate than a brother.She felt even more strange, thinking, where in this world is there such a considerate younger brother?

She suddenly said: "Sister Hua, you and Brother Yue are siblings, why is your surname Hua and his surname Yue?"

Hua Rong hadn't recovered from the wind and cold, and had been running around for a few days. She was already tired, and was leaning slightly on Yue Pengju's shoulder, closing her eyes and about to fall asleep. She heard Wanwan asking herself, but she didn't answer, but Yue Pengju answered first. : "We are not siblings, so naturally we have different surnames."

Wanwan had already guessed that the two of them were not real siblings, so she immediately asked, "Then, you two?"

Hua Rong's sleepy eyes were hazy, and he said: "I'm too tired, everyone, let's rest first, we have to hurry tomorrow morning."

Wanwan felt unwilling and couldn't ask any further questions, so she had to sleep next to her nurse.

The next day, everyone set out on the road, and as soon as they entered the territory of Cizhou, they received a piece of gratifying news that the Ninth Prince's hard-working teachers had already stationed here, and the Ninth Prince himself was in the mansion of Mr. Zongze, the magistrate of Cizhou.

Yue Pengju had a close relationship with Master Zong in his early years, and he switched to his subordinates after he first entered the battlefield. Thanks to his support and support, he can be regarded as his disciple, so the guards immediately brought everyone in as soon as the notification was made.

The Ninth Prince was discussing countermeasures with Zongze, and he had to report to Yue Pengju Hua Rong and his party to ask for an interview, so he hurriedly greeted him personally.The four of them waited in the hall, seeing the Ninth Prince coming out, Hua Rong was ashamed and excited at the same time, and immediately saluted: "Ninth Prince, Hua Rong is guilty of failing to live up to your entrustment..."

The Ninth Prince had already learned that his wife and children were all captured by the golden men, and he was heartbroken, but he remained calm, sighed, and helped her up: "Hua Rong, you don't have to blame yourself. The Song Kingdom suffered such a catastrophe. The emperor and the thousands of troops are helpless, what can you do, little girl? If you can escape, I will be very happy."

Hua Rong raised her head, and saw that his eyes were sunken, and his expression was bleak, such a spirited person obviously didn't know what kind of suffering he had gone through to be so haggard.Hearing what he said made me feel even more uneasy: "General Xu and I got separated, and we don't even know his whereabouts at the moment."

The Ninth Prince still had a pleasant expression: "Fortunately, you escaped first, and now, anyone who can escape counts as one."

Yue Pengju also met with Zong Ze, the Ninth Prince, and others. At this time, the Ninth Prince saw Wan Wan who had been shrinking behind Yue Pengju,
Frowning: "Wanwan, is that you?"

Wanwan burst into tears with a "wow" and knelt down: "Ninth Brother..."

It turned out that Wanwan was the daughter of the clan and the cousin of the Ninth Prince.The Ninth Prince saw her once, and when he saw her escape, he felt a little happy: "Fortunately, Wanwan, get up quickly."

Wanwan didn't reveal her identity along the way, and it was inconvenient for the two to ask in detail. Only then did Yue Pengju and Hua Rong know that she was the princess. No wonder she was so majestic.

Wanwan cried until Lihua rained: "Ninth Brother, Princess Tianwei...she ran away with me, we were separated twice, and she was taken away by Jin Bing for Princess Tianxiang..."

Among the dozens of brothers and sisters, the Ninth Prince and Princess Tianwei are the closest, and the most beloved sister has also fallen into the hands of the golden man. He held his forehead, feeling dizzy, and murmured: "Beads can't be hidden after all." This catastrophe..."

Chuanzhu is Princess Tianwei's nickname.

"Princess Tianwei was taken away, and she is probably locked up in the Liu Family Temple... The wet nurse and I were lucky enough to escape the golden man's clutches thanks to Mr. Yue's help..." Wanwan cried and looked at Yue Pengju, very grateful, "Ninth brother, it was Mr. Yue who saved us..."

Ninth Prince immediately said: "Pengju, thank you very much."

Yue Pengju said solemnly: "Don't dare! This is the job of the last general."

"I met Princess Tianwei. She said that the emperor had to go to the Golden Camp again four days ago. This time, he probably won't be able to get out again. After the emperor was detained, all the princesses and women were taken away, and all the princes and princes were taken away. Sun was also gathered... only the Supreme Emperor is left in the palace..."

The female family members of the royal family were basically locked up in the Liu Family Temple, including the family members of the Ninth Prince.Ninth Prince's eyes were bloodshot: "No, I must rush back to the capital to rescue them..."

Zong Ze hurriedly said: "You must not! My lord, at this time, the royal children are almost wiped out, and you are left alone to maintain the safety of the Song Dynasty. You will fall into the trap of the Jin people when you are going to the Golden Camp. From then on, we Da Song is really about to perish..."

Yue Pengju also said: "The Ninth Prince thinks twice, the Jinren are cunning and cunning, you must not go there..."

The Ninth Prince was overwhelmed with grief, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "You don't need to persuade me too much, I will definitely go. Now they are my wife and children, and in the future, they will be my father, queen, mother and concubine. Do I just sit back and watch? Lord Zong, prepare your horse immediately , we will start tomorrow.”

Everyone didn't dare to persuade them anymore, although they were very anxious, they had no choice.

night, already deep.

Although the Magistrate of Cizhou is not considered a luxury, but compared to the days of fleeing, it is already a paradise.

Hua Rong, Wanwan and other female relatives were arranged in a separate courtyard.Warm quilt and hot soup, but in the end I was restless, Hua Rong lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Someone knocked on the door, and a little maid came in: "Miss Hua, the prince's bodyguard Fan Gang is asking to see you."

Fan Gang and Xu Caizhi have been by the Ninth Prince's side for a long time, and Hua Rong is also very familiar with him, so he immediately said: "Please come in."

She immediately dressed and got out of bed, and when she entered the living room, Fan Gang looked flustered: "Miss Hua, please do one thing..."

"Master Fan, please speak."

"I beg Miss Hua to persuade the prince, he can't go back to Beijing to be a hostage no matter what at this moment, otherwise, Da Song will really be finished. Now, everyone persuades him not to listen, Miss Hua, please go and persuade..."

She hesitated for a long while: "My lord is persistent, even Mr. Zong's persuasion is useless, I'm afraid I..."

Both he and Xu Caizhi knew that the prince wanted Li Huarong to be his side concubine. At this moment, he had pinned all his hopes on her, and bowed down again: "Miss Hua, you have known the prince for many years, and the prince has always admired you. I will listen to your persuasion, please..."

"Oh, whatever, I'll go and have a look."

"Thank you."

Although the wind and snow had stopped, the cold still hit people. From afar, she saw a person standing under a sycamore tree in the garden. His figure was lonely and wandering lonely. It was the Ninth Prince.

Although I have been tired for many days, but the grief is stagnant in my heart, where can I close my eyes and rest?After the Ninth Prince calmed down for a while, he really weighed whether to go back or not.

Moonlight is silent.

Hua Rong stood behind the Ninth Prince for a while, and then plucked up the courage to say: "My lord, you should not go back tomorrow. The Jin people control the entire Kaifeng, and I witnessed the process of the emperor going to negotiate. Now, the emperor has once again fallen into the Jin Dynasty. In the hands of people, it is said that the princes and grandsons have also been wiped out, and only you are the last hope of the Song Dynasty. After you go back, I am afraid that you will never come out again. Now, the coach of the Jin Army, Zong Han, has already released rumors that he wants to arrest you. Keep the green hills here, don’t be afraid that there will be no firewood, if you go back, not only will you not be able to save them, but you will sacrifice yourself in vain, please think twice..."

Ninth Prince sighed.Almost overnight, parents, wives and children, brothers and sisters, and all relatives were wiped out in one sweep, turning them into a complete loner.

Ever since I met the Ninth Prince, I have always felt that he is a very powerful person with great strategizing skills and strong martial arts. This is the first time Hua Rong heard him lamenting, and she felt very sad. She took a step forward and handed Fan Gang over to Da Mao who she brought Qiu lightly draped it on his shoulders, and said in a low voice: "My lord, you should not go back. Thousands of people and soldiers are counting on you, hoping to defeat the Jin army under your leadership..."

Those gentle and charming hands put on the big fur, and the moment he was about to put it down, the Ninth Prince suddenly turned around and hugged her, his voice choked up: "Rong'er, I have no relatives, not even a single relative!"

This "Rong'er" contains more than a thousand words!It was the first time in Hua Rong's life that he heard someone call him that, and he didn't care too much. I hope he can cheer up, and said eagerly: "My lord, you still have thousands of troops, as well as the people and subjects of the Great Song Dynasty! Only you lead , in order to defeat the Jin army and revive the rivers and mountains."

The Ninth Prince leaned on her shoulder, and after a while, he raised his head and said firmly, "Okay, I will definitely defeat the golden man!"

Hua Rong was so happy that he almost jumped up: "My lord, thank you, thank you for figuring it out."

"Rong'er, follow me, I need someone now."

"Yes, I will. The concubine and the others are being locked up in the Liu Family Temple, and the Jin army probably won't be leaving anytime soon. I will wait for the opportunity to rescue them. Your lord, please rest assured..."

Before the Ninth Prince could answer, he suddenly heard a swishing sound. At this time, Hua Rong's voice also changed, and he immediately pushed him away: "My lord, hurry up, there are assassins..."

It's a pity that it was already a step late. Several masked assassins arrived, and all of them were top experts.

The two hurriedly resisted, Hua Rong shot out a small arrow, and shot at three people in a row. The target of the crowd was not her, they only surrounded the Ninth Prince.The Ninth Prince has been sad these days, his body is weak, his skill has been greatly reduced, and he can't resist it. Hua Rong didn't care about it, but when he saw a knife coming, he tried his best to protect him. The knife almost hit her between the eyebrows. Rong'er, get out of the way..." Pushing her hard, they actually pushed her away, and the two of them managed to escape, but a fiercer attack came again, and there was a sudden danger.

In the chaos, an assassin using a knife stabbed the heart of the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince turned his body and slashed at him with a knife on his back. Hua Rong was entangled by the two assassins and could not come to rescue him. Hearing a burst of roars, it turned out that someone had stabbed him for him, he hurriedly turned over, and saw that it was Yue Pengju who was coming, with a long spear thrown horizontally, and one arm was dripping with blood.

Hua Rong said in shock: "Pengju, you..."

"Sister, quickly escort the prince away..."

At this time, the guards had heard the news and rushed over. Seeing that they could not escape, several assassins even bit their teeth and committed suicide one by one. It was obvious that the teeth had poison hidden in them.

A guard went to lift the mask, and it was all assassins sent by the Jinren.

Everyone gathered in the hall in a hurry. In the chaos, Hua Rong pulled Yue Pengju and saw that he was covered in blood. He was anxious and frightened. Two doctors from Zhizhou Prefecture were already bandaging him. Stabbed on the left shoulder, and slashed on the right rib, fortunately, they were all skin traumas, and there was no danger of life.

After the dressing was finished, the Ninth Prince sighed, "Pengju, if it weren't for your siblings' loyal protection, next year today will be my king's memorial day."

"The last general's injury is not serious, so you don't need to worry about it. Those who are marching, this is just a minor injury."

The Ninth Prince looked at Hua Rong again, but saw that she was only focusing on Yue Pengju's injury, and when he heard the compliment, he turned his eyes and smiled slightly: "It's lucky that the prince is safe."
