Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 85
"Nowadays, civil resistance forces in the Song Kingdom are surging. The first thing we need to do is how to safely send the property and the prisoners of the Song Dynasty back to Shangjing. We have received definite information, and now Zhao Deji is already active in Yingtian, planning for his enthronement. The war in Song Dynasty is a matter of fighting and talking. It doesn't matter if you win or lose one or two small battles. It has nothing to do with the overall situation. Yue Nanman is only a small general of Song Dynasty, with only a few thousand people under his command, so we don't care about it at all. We might as well send someone to him Sister proposes marriage as a peace negotiation."

"Marriage? With Hua Rong's temper, how could he agree to make a marriage?"

"Fourth brother, you don't understand this. If you get married, Hua Rong will be your concubine. If you capture her, she will be a concubine. If she doesn't want to be a concubine, don't tell me she doesn't want to be a queen?"

Jin Wushu was overjoyed when he heard the words, if he were to be a concubine, Hua Rong would definitely not want to marry him.However, if it was Zhao Deji who asked her to get married as the queen, how could she not allow it?

"Second brother's plan is very clever, and let's avoid Yue Pengju's elite first, take down the other main forces of the Song army, intimidate him, and then force Zhao Deji to negotiate a peace. Forgive him, he dare not refuse."

Sure enough, after these conversations, Jin Wushu changed his strategic direction. He no longer confronted Yue Pengju head-on, and turned to attack other Song troops. To escape is to be defeated at the touch of a button. When the newly-emerged Han Zhongliang fought Jin Wushu with all his might, he did not expect that what he recruited was an old army of Liu Guang who fled. As soon as he heard that he was fighting with Jin Wushu, he fled for most of the night. People and horses.Han Zhongliang had no choice but to lead the remnant 6 people to fight in Huaixi, and he didn't even get close to Yingtian.

Let's say that after Yue Pengju's victory over Jin Wu that day, he saw that Jin Wu Shu was withdrawn, but it was not chaotic, and he found out that there was still Zong Wang's army behind him, so he immediately ordered not to pursue it.

Everyone hastily cleared the battlefield and picked up two silver medals. Looking at the ranks, they knew that they were fierce generals of the Jin army, Yawu and Yadian who were known as the Black Wind Kings.After checking the results again, more than [-] people were killed or injured by the Jin army, and some food and grass were seized.

Yue Pengju led the army to repel the enemy one after another, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted. The people in the city rushed to tell each other, singing and dancing, celebrating like a grand festival.

Yue Pengju and Hua Rong went on patrol before returning to the barracks.

It's spring, and the river along the way is full of wild roses and other unknown flowers. There are groups of butterflies flying around, and the sunset glow makes their colorful wings golden and dazzling.

Hua Rong took a look at the temporarily calm and splendid scenery. The Great Song Dynasty fell, how long can this paradise last?There is almost no place for peace in the world.In the past few days, she had witnessed Yue Pengju's use of soldiers like a god, winning every battle, and she was glad that she was by his side and protected by him, as if she was not afraid of anything.

The two got off their horses and walked side by side, while the horses ate grass on the side of the road.

Hua Rong suddenly let out a long sigh.

Yue Pengju hurriedly said, "Sister, what's the matter?"

"I was able to kill Jin Wushu just now. It's a pity that I thought about his benefits, hesitated for a while, and let him run away."

Yue Pengju laughed: "Sister, he used to be merciful to you, and it is not too much for you to let him go now. I also promised that if he falls into my hands, I will let him go once."

Hua Rong felt a lot relieved when he heard his words: "Oh, next time I have such a chance, I won't let him go."

However, how could a person like Jin Wushu give others such an opportunity?
Seeing that she was still a little unhappy, Yue Pengju picked a small pink flower on the side of the road and handed it to her: "Sister, do you like it?"

"Hehe, I like it."

"Sister, when there is no war, we will find a beautiful place, plow and farm when the farming is busy, and read and hunt when the farming is off."

"Well. I have been able to do a lot of work since I was a child. I can cook, mow grass, embroider and even harness carts. Ha ha."

"Sister, besides embroidery, I can also do those things, so I won't work so hard for you."

"So did you work hard?"

"Well. I should work hard and support my wife and children."

Hua Rong giggled, as if the two of them had already lived such a life, it seemed more exciting than gold and iron horses, than tenderness and lingering, the blood all over his body became boiling because of this.

Just after returning to the barracks, a soldier ran up: "My lord, there is an emergency situation."

"Let me see."

It turned out that it was Du Chong's urgent order to lead his army to Yingtianfu to meet up.The city of Berlin is one of the strategic fortresses, and the Jin army will never give up easily. Yue Pengju retained part of the army to be commanded by the original defenders of Berlin, and explained the secrets of defending the city in detail. Everyone rushed straight to Ying Tianfu without stopping.

On the third day, we passed the Crane Tower at the border and took a rest.

In the evening, Yue Pengju and Hua Rong climbed up to the only ancient tower in the small town and looked into the distance, but after seeing the Jin army plundering across the area, there were very few people in this area.This is the beginning of spring, and the buckwheat used to be so green in the past ten miles, but now it is full of barren weeds and no one cultivates it.

Hua Rong sighed, "Pengju, I really don't know when we will be able to drive away Jin Jun."

Yue Pengju's heart was also extremely heavy, but his tone was firm: "Sister, I will, I will."

The evening wind blew and it was slightly cold, and he suddenly became overwhelmed with pride. Hua Rong knew that when he had a little leisure time in the army, he liked to read and practice calligraphy, so he immediately took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the bag he carried with him.

Yue Peng raised his pen and wrote:
Looking at the Central Plains, there are many cities beyond the barren smoke.

Think of the year, the flowers cover the willows, the phoenix tower and the dragon pavilion.

In front of the Long Live Mountain, there are jewels and greens, and there are songs in the Penghu Hall.

Up to now, iron hooves are all over the suburbs, and the wind and dust are evil.

The soldiers are here, and the front is anointed.The people are safe, fill the ditch.

Sigh the country as before, thousands of villages are few.

What day please Ying Tirui brigade, cross Qinghe Luo straight with a whip.

But he came back, continued his Hanyang tour, and rode a yellow crane.

He put down the pen, Hua Rong picked it up and read it carefully.Over the years, Yue Pengju has put in a lot of hard work in the army, his pen is strong, and the boldness and bravery between the lines is even more exciting.

Seeing her reading carefully, Yue Pengju was slightly embarrassed: "Sister, I can't write well."

She gently put down the ink that was still in the inkstone, and smiled slightly: "Pengju, very good. From now on, I will collect and keep all the words you wrote...I will take it out for many years to read..."

"Ah."

He saw her drying those papers with great care, and understood her own thoughts, hobbies, and ambitions, which only her sister could understand best.He held her hand tightly, and whispered softly in her ear: "Sister, having you by my side makes me happier than winning a big battle."

She nestled in his arms, that kind of rich warmth seemed to be growing on its own day by day, staring at him tenderly, I don't know when, the young boy has become a hero in my heart, from then on, the love is deeply rooted, It seems that if you stay with him for the rest of your life, you will have no regrets.

On the second day, everyone accelerated their departure.In a few days, Yingtian was approaching.

Yue Pengju saw that the closer Hua Rong was to Ying Tian, ​​the more silent he became. He knew what was on her mind and said softly, "Sister, you don't need to speak when you see the Ninth Prince. I'll take care of everything, okay?"

Hua Rong was worried about this, and the closer he got to Yingtian, the more worried he became.Hearing these words, and seeing Pengju's firm eyes, as if he was holding up the sky falling, he couldn't help smiling: "Well, Pengju, I'll listen to you."

Seeing her tenderness, Yue Pengju, who had tasted sweetness for the first time, was even more delighted, but he felt that if he married a wife like this in this life, he would have no regrets in his life.

Still two miles away, Du Chong's army had arrived and was stationed outside the city.Hua Rong looked at those soldiers, they were exhausted, loud, and had no military discipline at all. He was secretly surprised. They were also Du Chong's subordinates. Except for the thousands of troops led by Yue Pengju, most of the others were like this. When he met the Jin army, he fled away.

From a distance, Hua Rong saw a big fat man approaching. He was medium-sized and potbellied. He was about 50 or [-] years old.Without waiting for Yue Peng to finish the ceremony, he said loudly: "Yue Pengju, I heard that you got a lot of gold and silver along the way?"

Yue Pengju was very surprised: "Who did Du Xianggong listen to?"

Du Chong was originally a martial artist, but he liked to pretend to be elegant, and liked to be called "Sanggong". He laughed: "Then what are you carrying in these seven or eight cars?"

Yue Pengju was taken aback for a moment, turned his head, and immediately said: "Open!"

The escorting soldiers immediately opened the big boxes on the seven or eight carts. Du Chong could clearly see that there were all kinds of books inside.

He was a little embarrassed: "Yue Pengju, what are you doing with all these books?"

Yue Pengju said indifferently: "The villain has always loved reading books, but because his family is poor and unable to study, he has never had any books to read. Now when he is outside, whenever he encounters a book that is about to be damaged, he always tries his best to save it."

"I blamed you wrongly. Alright, Yue Pengju, don't say much, follow me to see the Ninth Prince."

"Yes."

Hua Rong watched Du Chong's actions, and knew that he was highly valued by the Ninth Prince, his heart felt a little chilled for some reason, and he was very uneasy seeing Yue Pengju go away with him.

When everyone returned to the mansion, the Ninth Prince sat on the top seat, and the civil and military officials below were lined up on both sides. Although there were not many people, but because Yue Pengju's official title was low, he could only be ranked last.After the general finished playing, it was Yue Pengju's turn.Before he could speak, the Ninth Prince suddenly remembered something, and said casually, "Yue Pengju, is there any news about your sister?"

"My sister is in the army with me, and now she is waiting outside the door."

Only then did the Ninth Prince know that Hua Rong had already gained a great reputation in the army because of an arrow that injured Zong Wang, and he was overjoyed: "Quick, quickly pass Hua Rong in."

Hua Rong came in, and the Ninth Prince saw that although she was busy with the world, she was in a much better spirit, so she stood up happily: "Yue Pengju, you siblings are all good, Pengju, you defeated Zongwang and repelled Jin Wushu!" , is really loyal and brave..."

"It depends on the concerted efforts of the soldiers, and the young generals dare not claim credit."

The Ninth Prince turned to Wang Yuan, the servant who was on the side: "What is the level of Yue Pengju's achievements?"

"Accumulated to level 22."

"How to reward according to the column?"

"It should be Cong Sipin."

Generals of the Song Dynasty, the fourth rank is already a high-ranking official. Many generals will never get this official title in their entire lives. , I just want to ask for a reward..."

Everyone knew that he was not good at making money, but today he asked for a reward, which was very surprising. The Ninth Prince was also a little surprised, and said: "What reward do you want?"

"Yue Pengju relied on the lord Qi Hongfu and the unity of the army and the people to win the victory. It was not his own merit. He didn't dare to ask for any extravagant rewards. But this time he dared to ask the lord for a big favor, but he asked the ninth lord to take back his order and cancel the last general. Marriage with Princess Wanwan!"

He spoke freely and without hesitation.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. It was a great happy event to be promoted, get rich and marry the princess. How could Yue Pengju openly resign?

Ninth Prince's complexion changed, knowing that Yue Pengju had mentioned this repeatedly, and it was hard to let it go if there was no conclusion today.He looked at Hua Rong, but he saw that Hua Rong was looking at the ground lightly, with a very calm expression.

He pondered for a while: "Yue Pengju, why did you resolutely resign? Could it be that princess Wanwan is not good enough for you?"

"The young general deserves to die, because he likes another woman, so he must not marry the princess."

Everyone was in an uproar, three wives and four concubines are common, how can there be any reason to regret marriage because of other women?

The Ninth Prince said angrily: "I asked you that day, and you said you were not married!"

"It is true that the young general has never married, but the young general already has a woman he likes before, and in this life, he will definitely live up to her!"

"Yue Pengju, since this is the case, you don't need to resign. This king has not forbidden you to take concubines, and three wives and four concubines are also common."

"The young general has been a farmer for generations. He only knows that he has a wife but does not know that he has a concubine. In this life, there is absolutely no reason for a second marriage. I beg the prince to forgive me."

The Ninth Prince subconsciously, from beginning to end, was unwilling to ask who his favorite woman is!I was very uneasy, as if I was afraid that he would admit it in public.
