Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 96 Enthroned
These days are sunny every day, the rising sun is bright and flawless, as if it indicates that the Great Song Empire will have a new future.

This morning, Xing Yue Pengju, the rising general of the empire, led a triumphant army and arrived at a garrison town ten miles outside Yingtian City.

He is the first guard of the Ninth Prince's enthronement this time.

As soon as Yue Pengju entered the city, he saw a restaurant in front of him shouting endlessly, surrounded by people.

He walked over and took a look, and quickly realized that it was this group of people who raped and robbed the city and robbed several women. One of them was the daughter of the owner of the restaurant. Several people.

What Yue Pengju hated most was violating military discipline and poisoning the common people. With a loud shout, he ordered the ten soldiers to be tied up, and asked sharply, "You are bold, do you know the punishments of the military law? Anyone who plunders property and rapes residents and women will be punished accordingly." Cut. As the master of the king, how is your behavior different from that of the captives?"

Unexpectedly, one of the leaders replied confidently: "Grandpa is General Liu's subordinate, and General Liu has never detained him. What are you? How dare you provoke Grandpa?"

This person was the chief culprit of the looting, Yue Pengju was furious: "You don't even think about porridge and food, and the people supply them, and you don't think about killing the enemy, but you harass the people with your troops. This kind of disaster, kill immediately!"

Immediately he drew his sword in his hand and beheaded the culprit.The others were trembling and did not dare to breathe out any more, and they were escorted to the garrison camp together.

The gate of the garrison camp was full of vehicles and horses.But General Liu Guang led Qin Wang's soldiers and horses to arrive. Together with his wives and 16 concubines, plus treasures, they were full of 24 carts.

As soon as Yue Pengju went in, he saw a fat man of medium height come out, his face was purple, his beard and hair were yellow.It was General Liu Guang.

When Yue Pengju saw that he had brought such property and women with him, he felt contemptuous in his heart, and greeted him lightly: "General Liu, Yue Pengju has overstepped. This morning, ten people robbed their homes and insulted women. For violating the class law of Taizu, I have already beheaded him, and the remaining nine people each held their own sticks, as a warning to others..."

The Song Dynasty Army Secondary School has a class law, which was created by Song Taizu. Any subordinate who violates the superior can be sentenced to death.Liu Guang indulged in military discipline, but Yue Pengju raised the class law, he was speechless, he could only frown, and ordered the nine soldiers to be driven back.

Seeing that he released the nine people so easily, Yue Pengju was very angry, but he didn't show it. Liu Guang laughed and said, "Brother Yue, your experience is still inexperienced, and you will know after a long time. The way to run an army lies in' Zongbing', only by indulging the soldiers in peacetime can we make them serve wholeheartedly in wartime..."

It was the first time in Yue Pengju's life that he heard such fallacies. He felt that the sun above his head was actually very dazzling. The "Teachers of King Qin" he saw along the way were basically the same. Heshan is really unimaginable.

In this way, the joy of the new emperor of the empire's enthronement could not conceal the faint uneasiness in his heart, as if the closer he was to Yingtian, the more he had a bad premonition.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of his sister, and was so anxious in his heart that he could only wait for the next moment to see his sister appear in front of him.

Hua Rong was patrolling the school grounds when he heard Yue Pengju come back with a big victory.

She was so happy that she almost jumped up and went out with everyone.When Yue Pengju saw his sister in the crowd, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.Hua Rong winked at him quietly, he understood that the elite troops he led this time are the most elite troops in the imperial court and the one most trusted by the Ninth Prince. .

King Qin also followed Hua Rong from a distance in the crowd.Seeing Yue Pengju riding on a tall horse from a distance, with high spirits and the attention of everyone, it was only then that he realized so clearly—this is not the "kid with no hair yet", but the brightest general in the empire.

Faintly saw Hua Rong waving his hands in the crowd in front of him, fingers profusely, smiling like a flower, his face was full of the tenderness of a young girl's admiration.

It was the first time he saw her look like this, but it was to someone else. The more he looked at her, the more annoyed he became, jealous, afraid, disappointed, sad... He was holding a big knife tightly in his hand, and the handle of the knife began to burn. This kid Yue Pengju , dare to incest and disrespect, must kill him!

Long ago, the deputy marshal Huang Qianshan ordered the generals from all over the country to discuss matters and deploy the Ninth Prince's enthronement and defense work.Yue Pengju was temporarily appointed as an official of the Guard Infantry Division, in charge of the city defense, under 1000 soldiers.Yue Pengju looked at his sister from a distance in the crowd, and before he even had time to say hello, he had already taken orders and left.

When everything is arranged, it is already the third watch.

Then he hurried to Hua Rong's room, and the moment he knocked on the door, the door opened, Hua Rong smiled all over his face, and said softly, "Pengju, come in."

He closed the door, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he held her in his arms: "Sister..."

The warmth coming from his arms is reassuring, sweet, like an intoxicating spring breeze.She giggled lightly: "Pengju, you are finally back."

The two hugged each other tightly, and he slowly lowered his head to kiss her forehead, and then kissed her lips again.It was an extremely sweet feeling, she was leaning softly in his arms, it was as if there were only two of them left in the world, forever, never to be separated again.

After a long time, he asked softly, "Sister, how are you these days?"

"It's okay. It's nothing serious. It's just that King Qin has arrived in the barracks..."

Yue Pengju was very surprised: "He can stay in the barracks?"

"He hasn't left after coming for so long, alas..." She still had lingering fears when she thought of being barged in by King Qin that day.Seeing her uneasy expression, Yue Pengju immediately said: "He bullied you again? I will drive him away tomorrow."

She lay in his arms and closed her eyes: "He broke in one night and went out again."

Yue Pengju said anxiously: "He hurt you again?"

"Not this time. But I really don't want to see him."

It was my sister's nightmare, he understood.

"Sister, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Well, I'm not afraid." She smiled sweetly: "Leave King Qin alone, he loves to stay in the barracks, and when you go out, I'll leave with you..."

"Sister, I can no longer leave you alone, it's too dangerous."

"Yeah." She leaned into his arms, listening to his heartbeat so strong and powerful, all the anxiety disappeared.

"Sister, the Ninth Prince is about to ascend the throne."

"That's right. Pengju, tell me, will Song Dynasty really fight hard to recover the fallen land from now on?"

Yue Pengju recalled what he had seen and heard along the way, and sighed: "When civil servants don't love money and military officials don't fear death, there is hope."

Huarong lowered her voice: "Pengju, I don't know why, but I always feel that the Ninth Prince has changed."

"How did it change?"

That night, the Ninth Prince promised that Hua Rong originally thought that the 100 beauties would be let go, but unexpectedly, after inquiring afterward, only a few of the snatchers were let go. According to Xu Caizhi, the rest of the girls were because of their greed for wealth. , left voluntarily.She didn't know the truth, but only knew that Huang Qianshan was not punished in any way, on the contrary, the Ninth Prince seemed to value him very much, and many important documents for his ascension to the throne came from him.

Even a few days ago, she quietly saw Huang Qianshan accompanying the Ninth Prince in the dark. The two chatted very closely. Huang Qianshan seemed to have a great right to come and go freely in the Ninth Prince's bedroom.

Hua Rong was faintly disappointed, and told Yue Pengju about these things and King Qin's evaluation of Lord Nine.Deep down in her heart, she never wanted to mention these things to anyone else. Only in front of Yue Pengju could she have no scruples.

Her voice was inaudible: "If the Ninth Prince sent troops to the Liu Family Temple, maybe he could still fight to the death."

"That's true, maybe he won't have a chance to ascend the throne!"

Hua Rong was shocked.

"Almost all the 'King Qin's teachers' I saw along the way were named 'King Qin', but they actually preserved their strength and fled to protect their property and family members. When the Jin army left Liujiasi, there were only more than 8 people. And there are more than 20 soldiers of Qin Wang, plus the 30 people in Kaifeng who are passionate, it is not impossible to fight against the Jin army!"

Yue Pengju was very angry, and it was only then that Hua Rong realized that perhaps, politics was indeed much more cruel than he had imagined.She suddenly remembered the grief of the Ninth Prince she saw with her own eyes that day. Could it be that these are also fake?

Yue Pengju pondered for a while before saying, "Forget it, sister, let's do our best first."

"It has to be like this. I only hope that the Ninth Prince will keep his true colors and work hard, and then Da Song will really have hope."

"I hope so."

The hearts of both siblings are very heavy, but the expectation for the Ninth Prince and the joy of reunion, after all, surpassed the hidden worries in their hearts.Hua Rong smiled slightly, and straightened his slightly disheveled temple hair: "Pengju, I'll fry tea for you."

"Okay."

She smiled and lit a small stove in the room, put a small copper pot, filled it with clean water, took a plate of high-quality dragon and phoenix tea, put it on the table next to it, smashed, milled, sieved, and then put the tea powder Put in boiling water and stir gently with a bamboo wat...

Yue Pengju saw that she was light and graceful, and her posture was beautiful. The fragrance of tea slowly wafted in the room along with the boiling water. The whole room was filled with the fragrance of tea.He grew up alone since he was a child. He has been in the military for a long time and has never enjoyed the warmth of a family. Now, for the first time, he feels at home, and there is an urgent excitement and desire in his heart. Every movement is so pleasing to the eye.

Hua Rong raised his head occasionally, and seeing his infatuated eyes, he smiled softly: "Pengju, are you stupid?"

"Hehe, sister, when did you learn how to make tea?"

"It will be at home. My father taught me. But at that time we all drank loose tea, far inferior to the tea leaves now. These tea leaves were rewarded by the Ninth Prince. I was impatient to make these when I was at home alone. I plan to wait for you to come back and cook it for you..." She replied softly, and then explained the essentials of making tea to Yue Pengju.

When the tea boiled like a fish's eye, Hua Rong scooped it up with a wooden spoon and put it in a rose purple tea cup produced by Jun Kiln, which was exactly a spoonful of water and a cup of tea.
