Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 79
She walked in with Xu Caizhi, and saw seven or eight tables of banquets in a hall, all of them were officials from Yingtian Mansion and generals from Xiangzhou Camp, because of the war, everything was kept simple.The Ninth Prince was sitting at the head of the table in a red robe. Beside him was a woman in a red wedding dress. The woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a strong body. Very heroic, presumably because she came from a family of generals, she is Wu Jinnu, the younger sister of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Governor.

The Ninth Prince was having a banquet, Xu Caizhi hurried over and whispered something in his ear.He raised his head, his complexion changed drastically, he immediately got up and walked towards Hua Rong who was standing at the end, with a trembling voice: "Rong'er, you're back!"

Hua Rong smiled slightly, and made a big gift: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince. Hua Rong is ashamed and rude to give away, so I can only borrow flowers to present Buddha, toast the prince, and express my heart..."

She poured a glass of wine and drank it down. The Ninth Prince held the glass, but how could he drink it?I just feel like a five-flavor bottle has been knocked over in my heart, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and I don't know what it feels like at all.Jin Bing made a roster to arrest the royal and noble women. Thousands of them were all locked in the Liujia Temple, guarded by heavy soldiers, and no one could escape.Knowing that Hua Rong was arrested and there was no hope of rescue, he almost gave up the idea that she would survive. Unexpectedly, not only did she come back, but she came back at such a moment.

At this time, the auspicious time has come, all the officials have already left, and the bride has already been led into the bridal chamber. The Ninth Prince stared blankly at Hua Rong and Xu Caizhi walking out with the crowd, stood for a long time, then sat down again, I drank three cups by myself.

Xu Caizhi took Hua Rong to settle down. As soon as he left, Hua Rong didn't care to take a closer look at the environment, so he fell on the bed and fell asleep almost immediately due to exhaustion.

After only sleeping for a while, I woke up, as if I had a nightmare, and I couldn't remember it at all.There was a sound of bang bang watch in the distance. It turned out that it was only the fourth watch.

I was still so tired that I couldn't open my eyelids, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter what.In a daze, she suddenly heard a sigh outside the window. She was startled, turned over and jumped up, walked to the window, and said softly, "Who is it?"

Ninth Prince said in a deep voice, "Rong'er, it's me."

She stood by the window without opening it: "Your Highness hasn't rested yet?"

"Rong'er, I want to talk to you."

Ninth Prince's bridal chamber is a festive night, what do you want to say to yourself?She said lightly: "It's getting late, the night dew is cold, please go back, my lord..."

There was no sound outside the window, she felt relieved, walked back to the bed and was about to go to bed, when she heard a knock on the door.

"Rong'er..."

She lit a lamp, walked over in surprise, opened the door, the Ninth Prince came in, and sat down at the table.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Under the light, the Ninth Prince saw that she was thin and thin, but even so, she couldn't hide her elegance, and her brows and eyes were even more beautiful.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, stretched out his hand, and pressed her hand: "Rong'er, how did you escape back? Did Jin Wushu torture you?"

She inadvertently withdrew her hand: "Jin Wushu is arrogant by nature, but he never tortured me. That night, someone caused chaos in Jinying, so I took the opportunity to escape and come back. This time I came back to report to the prince, Jin Wushu He has been conferred the title of Marshal of the Sweeping South by the old wolf of the Jin Kingdom, and he wants to support a puppet emperor in the Song Kingdom, and then seize the entire Song Kingdom. The puppet they want to support is Zhang Bangchang..."

"It really is him! This thief occupies a high position, but has repeatedly advocated for peace. No wonder he is so, he is actually a lackey of the Kingdom of Jin."

"There is also the number one scholar, Qin Hui, who is probably also a spy of Jin Wushu."

"Qin Hui?" The Ninth Prince didn't seem to have a deep impression on him, "This person is not an important official in the court, and he was also captured by the Jin army."

Now that it's gone, there's nothing to worry about.

"Besides, I found out that the current number of Jinjun staying around Kaifeng is about 8, not the 50 they boasted..."

The Ninth Prince was overjoyed: "Is this news accurate?"

"Definitely!"

"Okay, I will arrange the deployment immediately."

She chuckled: "My lord, I came back to report this matter to you, and I will leave early tomorrow morning..."

He asked anxiously, "Rong'er, where are you going?"

"Go to a distant relative..."

"Rong'er, you also know that it's time to employ people, you can't leave, stay and help me."

"Now that there are Qinwang troops from all directions, Hua Rong's stay will not only be of no help, but also a burden to the prince."

The Ninth Prince hadn't answered yet, only heard a depressing urgent report, it was Xu Caizhi: "My lord, there is a military situation..."

"Come in."

I saw a letter soldier running in with Xu Caizhi, knelt down and played: "My lord, Yue Pengju won 13 games in a row against the Jin army, and met a Jin army in Bozhou, and they couldn't stand each other..."

The Ninth Prince pondered for a while, and Xu Caizhi hurriedly said: "Bozhou is only more than 100 miles away. If we lose our defense, the consequences will be disastrous...My lord, for safety's sake, it is better to retreat..."

Hua Rong suddenly said: "My lord must not retreat. At this time, we need to be united. Once the lord leaves, the morale of the army will collapse. Besides, Pengju uses soldiers like a god. I believe he will be able to stop the Jin army..."

The Ninth Prince nodded, and said loudly: "Yue Pengju has won 13 games in a row, and he was appointed as the defense envoy of Xiangzhou. General Wuwei, everyone, and others are stationed at the same place, strengthen their guard, train their troops frequently, and make sure there is no mistake."

"Yes."

Everyone took the order to leave, the Ninth Prince stood up, and suddenly saw the red clothes flashing at the door, he shouted: "Who is it?"

I saw Wu Jinnu, who was dressed in a happy attire, slowly walked in, with a panicked look on his face: "Forgive me, my lord. Seeing that the military situation is urgent, I dare not delay. I can't find you for a while, so..."

It turned out that on the wedding night, Concubine Wu saw that her husband hadn't entered the "bridal chamber" for a long time, and she was waiting impatiently, but she heard the guards report that there was an urgent military situation, and she couldn't find the Ninth Prince.Xu Caizhi heard the sound and rushed over, knowing that the Ninth Prince must be at Hua Rong's place, and Concubine Wu followed him immediately.

As she answered, she looked at Hua Rong, both surprised and sad. On the wedding night, her husband was actually in other women's rooms.

Hua Rong opened the door for the Ninth Prince. Although she was dressed neatly, but in the middle of the night, the lonely man and the widow, under the eyes of Concubine Wu, couldn't speak clearly, and felt ashamed.

Ninth Prince looked at Concubine Wu majestically: "Forget it, you go back and rest first."

"Yes."

Concubine Wu responded, and looked at Hua Rong again, tears were about to drip from her eyes, the three-inch golden lotus was stepping on it, and she turned around slowly and left.

The Ninth Prince was going to call the generals overnight to discuss the battle ahead, he was upset, shook his head, and went out.

Hua Rong hastily closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.Only then did he think of the inhuman treatment his two concubines had suffered in the Jin Army camp.He didn't ask, so of course she wouldn't mention it.Otherwise, it will be a more serious blow to him.

Who said that marrying into the emperor's family must be a good thing?
Look at the time, so that it will be dawn soon, remembering that I have informed the prince last night that he is going to "seek refuge with distant relatives", it is not considered to be leaving without saying goodbye, just wash up a little, and when I go out, I see the lights of the Ninth Prince's bedroom all night, so I don't bother him, but Seeing Xu Caizhi outside, she told him, Xu Caizhi wants to keep her, how can she keep her?Hua Rong led the horse straight away.

Berlin city.

Just at dusk, Yue Pengju hurried back to the barracks, and just sat down to drink a cup of tea when he heard Zhang Xian come back.

He was overjoyed: "Zhang Xian, is there any news?"

Zhang Xian was a little uneasy, and shook his head: "Pengju, your sister is not in Yingtian."

"Where did she go? What happened?"

Yue Pengju's complexion changed, and his uneasiness intensified.

"I found out that she once returned to Yingtian, but then she left and disappeared?"

"How is this going?"

Zhang Xian sighed: "I heard the news that she seemed to be captured by the Jin army, escaped again, and left after returning to Yingtian. There has been no news since then..."

Yue Pengju stood up abruptly: "No, I have to go find my sister."

"You have an order, how can you leave? Pengju, you can't leave."

"Something must have happened to my sister."

"I'll help you find it. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I rushed back to tell you. Since your sister has recovered, she shouldn't be in too much danger. I wonder if she has come to look for you?"

It would be best if my sister came to find me.But, if not, what should she do alone in this chaos?
"I'll set off tomorrow morning and go find her again."

"No, I can't wait any longer. After this battle, I will go find her myself."

Approaching the city of Berlin.

Along the way, many villagers came and went with various grains and vegetables on their backs.People walked and discussed:

"Master Yue has won again..."

"I heard that Mr. Yue defeated the Jin army in 14 consecutive games. It is really a blessing for the Song Dynasty..."

"Yes, more importantly, Lord Yue's army never harassed the people, and the discipline was strict. This is a blessing for the country..."

"With such an army, we will definitely be able to defeat the Jin army..."

"..."

The woman riding on the "Kinseth" heard such comments along the way, and she couldn't help laughing, feeling warm in her heart.

It was dusk at this time, and all the villagers who delivered food and grass had returned. The guards on patrol saw a woman riding a horse, her face was covered with wind and frost, and her hair was blown messy, and said loudly, "Who are you looking for?"

"I would like to ask you two military lords to inform your chief general Yue Pengju that his sister is begging to see..."

The guards saw that she was fit and elegant, even though her clothes were worn out, she did not look shabby at all, and she was General Yue's sister, so they didn't dare to underestimate her, and immediately went in to report.

Hua Rong had just asked another guard for a bowl of water, when he heard a rush of footsteps, he rushed out alone, and hugged her: "Sister, sister..."

She lay in his arms for a long time before she raised her head and looked at him carefully. She saw that he was wearing golden armor with chain chains and a red copper helmet with a scarlet enchantment on his head. He was really majestic and handsome. No one can match his demeanor.She couldn't help smiling: "Pengju, I heard along the way that you have won 14 consecutive battles from the beginning of the first month to now, and you have won every battle. I am so happy, haha..."
