One Night Bride

Chapter 113: Dramatic changes in Zhenjiang

Views:

Jin Wushu, led by Han Chang, went directly to pursue Hua Rong.

Hua Rong saw the ferocity of his approach and did not dare to stop, so he drove Jinses all the way. Jin Wushu was the old owner of Jinses, and he kept whistling, and Jinses stopped from time to time.

Hua Rong was anxious and scared, but behind him, Jin Wushu was holding a torch and laughing.

She simply reined in her horse and turned around. At this time, there were only two people left on the steep mountain road. The night wind blew by, and the torch in Jin Wushu's hand was clearly extinguished.

The distance between the two of them was only a few feet, and even though there was thick fog, the firelight allowed each other to clearly see the sweat on their respective faces.

She said angrily: "Jin Wushu, why do you keep threatening me?"

He shook his head: "I don't know either."

She was stunned for a moment.

"I have tried various methods and found that there is no way to wait for you to really like me. So, I will wait no longer. If you can't belong to me, then I will never let you belong to Yue Pengju..." He laughed at himself Smiling, "Hua Rong, now, you and Zhao Deji are both my targets and the trophies I want to capture!"

She sneered: "Maybe you overestimate yourself."

"Didn't you say that if you defeat Yue Pengju, you will come with me?"

"Did you defeat him?"

"Sooner or later he will die by my hands. Tonight will be his end."

"Maybe it's the end of you."

"Oh? Since you want me to die so much, why didn't you just kill me with a knife when you had the chance?"

"Because I owe you love. Jin Wushu. From now on, our grudges will be offset. I will never show mercy to you again, and you will do the same."

He stared at Hua Rong, and the frustration in his heart turned into a knot. It was a challenge to his self-confidence. She, Yue Pengju, seemed like a blow from her fate. If she could not overcome it, she would never be considered a true hero. What men desire most. There are always two things, women and victory. However, if you can neither get a woman nor win, how can you talk about a happy life

This was the main reason why he kept trying to catch her and kill Yue Pengju.

Because she understood, Hua Rong was even more frightened.

After a long while, he said: "You actually spoke to me like this! Hua Rong, do you know that this prince's patience has been exhausted?"

"So what if it runs out?"

"When the time comes, you will be like any real female slave from the Song Dynasty!"

Hua Rong saw a flash of impatience and viciousness in his eyes, and knew that he was not threatening, but rather flustered. She knew that if she fell into his hands, there would be no good end.

"Hua Rong, you can't escape. I will give you one last chance. If you follow me obediently, I will make you my wife. If you resist again, I will catch you and make you know what it means to be a slave or a concubine." destiny!"

Hua Rong laughed.

Maybe it was the firelight, maybe it was the mist, which came so strangely and gradually dispersed. She smiled charmingly and was full of energy. Suddenly, she shot an arrow towards the torch.

As soon as the torch was extinguished, Jin Wushu was stunned, but she hit the horse, turned around and ran away.

By the time Jin Wushu realized what she was doing, the sound of her horse's hoofbeats had already faded away.

He whistled again, and for some reason even Kinses was disobedient. He didn't stop at all and couldn't catch up anymore.

Zhao Deji and his party were also running in the mountains at this time. It was already dark. As they were running, they could only hear the sound of horse hooves. A group of guards hurriedly raised their bows to protect them, but they saw only a fast horse chasing them. The people on the horse had already heard the sound of the men and women in front of them. The mixed voices were definitely not the whereabouts of Jin Bing, and the voice was frightened: "Who are you?"

Zhao Deji shouted out loud: "Rong'er, is that you?"

"emperor!"

"Quick, Rong'er, hurry up."

Hua Rong was chased by Jin Wushu, but Jinses was able to escape because of his fast feet. When she was about to go out to find Yue Pengju, she didn't want to wander around in the mountains. There was no way out, but now she happened to run into Zhao Deji. She hesitated. For a moment: "I got lost and was looking for Yue Pengju. We fought with the Jin army in the evening and were scattered by the Jin army's kidnapper horses. It is estimated that he has driven back the Jin army and will come to escort him soon..."

"That's right, Rong'er, you come with us first." Seeing Hua Rong still standing there, he was a little angry and said loudly: "Hua Rong listens to the order and will follow me on the road immediately."

Hua Rong had no choice but to follow the others on the road.

After running for a few miles, the terrain opened up, and the obscured moonlight gradually became brighter.

When Zhao Deji saw Hua Rong falling behind him, he was acting cautiously and cautiously, and sighed in a very sad voice: "Rong'er, after all the twists and turns, I didn't expect that among all the old friends, you are the only one who is still by my side."

"Thanks to the Emperor for not giving up, Hua Rong will protect her to the death."

Zhao Deji heard her keep saying "Your Majesty", which was no longer the affectionate way she used to call "official" in the past, so he whispered: "Rong'er, do you blame me?"

"No, Hua Rong has no intention of blaming the emperor."

The oxcart was very filthy. Zhang Yingying wanted to stretch her head out of the window to take a breath, but she saw a tall and tall woman in front of Zhao Guan's house. She held a bow on the left and a sword on the right. She was Hua Rong. .

In the panic, she didn't know that Hua Rong was also there, but seeing the moonlight like water, Zhao Deji slowed down and walked alongside Hua Rong. Although he didn't speak, he could still see his excitement.

She felt sour, jealous and painful. She didn't know why. She had never been so jealous when Pan Yingying gave birth to a child, but she was extremely jealous of Hua Rong, who was not a concubine of the official family.

Zhang Yingying put down the curtain and thought of the "emperor's husband" who fled on his own first. If she hadn't been shrewd and prepared, her end would have been unimaginable. She couldn't help wiping her tears in the dim oxcart and following the oxcart. It's bumpy, and I don't know where the next foothold will be.

Who said that marrying into an emperor's family is a real blessing

Because of Yue Pengju's interception, the Jin Army did not catch up with them along the way. However, Yue Pengju encountered the Jin Army all the way and could not catch up for a moment. Although Hua Rong estimated that he was behind him, he did not know the situation and was still very worried. Along the way, I looked back and didn't even know Zhao Deji was next to me.

"Rong'er..."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Jin Wushu is chasing me. General Yue Pengju's right-hand army has less than two thousand troops, while Jin Wushu has 50,000 troops. If he divides his troops into three groups, it will be difficult for us to deal with him."

Zhao Deji has always been afraid of this problem and nodded: "So, we have to hurry up. When we get to Yangzhou, Yue Pengju will come naturally."

By this time, Hua Rong had no other choice but to go on the road together.

Fortunately, we never encountered any frontal pursuit by the Jin army along the way. After several days of hurried march, we finally arrived in Zhenjiang.

Empress Dowager Meng and others were already here at the temporary palace in Zhenjiang, as well as Wu Jinnu and others who had led the young prince here. Empress Dowager Meng had not returned from meditating in the Buddhist hall, so Wu Jinnu learned that the official family had arrived and hurried out to greet her.

This was the first time Hua Rong saw the little prince, but when he saw the little prince who was only a few months old, although he was handsome and handsome, he was frail and thin, which was obviously due to congenital deficiencies. It was obviously because Pan Yingying, who was pregnant, was hiding in Tibet when Kaifeng fell and was frightened.

Her heart tightened, how could such a weak child grow up

It seems that the Zhao family is really in urgent need of concubines and reborn princes.

Everyone was very tired and slept on the spot that night.

Early the next morning, General Liu Guangqin and his army arrived and unexpectedly picked up Pan Yingying who was on the run.

Pan Yingying looked haggard and said, "May the official family be blessed." Zhao Deji was also a little sad and only said, "Fortunately, Mrs. Pan is fine." Zhang Yingying on the side also rushed forward and saluted: "I pay my respects to Mrs. Pan."

When Pan Yingying saw Zhang Yingying, who had changed her clothes and freshened up, she was already waiting for the official. She was radiant and well-groomed. She was not as embarrassed as she was. She was even more jealous and furious. She raised her hand and slapped her: "Bitch, you dare to leave the slave family." ,Escape privately..."

When Zhao Deji saw her acting up, he was very upset and shouted: "Mrs. Zhang, what's wrong with catching up first and serving me?"

Zhang Yingying understood that with the little prince, she could not have a grudge with Pan Yingying, so she knelt down and apologized: "I know my mistake, please punish Madam Pan..."

At this time, Wu Jinnu had already carried the little prince out, greeted Pan Yingying in surprise, and called "Sister."

When Pan Yingying saw her son, she immediately rushed to hug her and burst into tears.

Zhao Deji was even more displeased and shouted: "Why are you crying?"

Pan Yingying could no longer bear the grievance and resentment in her heart, and handed the little prince to Wu Jinnu. Although she knew that the emperor was fierce, she could not control herself at this time. She burst into tears and accused him: "The officials are so cruel, but I only know that the emperor is cruel." To run away alone and not take the slave family with you is really heartless and unjust, not as good as a married couple in the market... "

Being chased to the end of the world was a pain in Zhao Deji's heart, but when he saw that Pan Yingying ignored his dignity and accused him, he became angry and cursed "bold bitch" and kicked Pan Yingying to the ground. Pan Yingying sat on the ground, beat her chest and feet, and cried bitterly. Pan Yingying cried sadly, and the little prince who was held by Wu Jinnu next to him was so frightened that he cried. Zhao Deji was even more furious. Several palace servants came up and pulled Pan Yingying down forcibly. Zhao Deji felt even more embarrassed when he saw that the concubines in the hall lowered their eyebrows and looked down. It was hot and he walked away.

When Pan Yingying was pulled out, she was already awake, but regretful. From then on, no matter how much Pan Yingying flattered her, she could no longer gain favor.

Hua Rong watched Zhao Deji's concubines vying for favor and crying, then quietly went out, knowing that Zhao Deji never wanted to be heard by outsiders at this time.

Zhao Deji went out depressedly and saw her standing silently in the corridor outside, looking into the distance. He remembered that he had fled in a hurry that day, and in his panic, he did not notify her, nor did he think of rescuing her. He felt a little guilty, and after thinking for a long time, he took off a jade pendant from his body. Walked over: "Rong'er."

"Your Majesty? What are you doing?"

"Rong'er, you never abandoned me in times of crisis. Now that I have just arrived in Zhenjiang, even though I am the emperor, I have nothing to offer as a reward, so I will give you this jade pendant."

"Hua Rong doesn't dare."

"Rong'er, take it and consider it a wedding gift from me to you and Yue Pengju."

She was startled, but she didn't despise Zhao Deji in her heart. However, he had saved her life after all. When she saw him like this, her voice choked up: "Thank you! Thank you for your great kindness."

When Zhao Deji heard the long-lost call "official", he felt mixed feelings in his heart and turned around to leave.

As soon as everyone settled in the temporary palace in Zhenjiang, the little prince fell ill again. In fact, due to his congenital deficiencies, he was often sick and needed a lot of medicine to barely maintain his life. Since they had just arrived, everyone thought he was just sick "by chance" .

Zhao Deji visited his son seven or eight times a day, but when he saw that he was very sick, he knew that the child would not be able to grow up. He had no choice but to follow the advice of an eunuch and took his son to a Buddhist temple outside the city. Go to the church and accompany the old queen, and let the nuns who are proficient in medicine and health care take care of her and regulate her body.

After sending his son away, he returned to the palace dejectedly.

Wu Jinnu helped him lie down on the bed. She knew what he was worried about and was very worried. She stayed with him for a long time and waited until he fell asleep before going out to get a bowl of porridge. Hua Rong was wandering outside, originally wanting to ask about the situation. , but she always knew that Wu Jinnu didn't like her, so she couldn't bear to ask.

Wu Jinnu brought the porridge in and saw that Zhao Deji had opened his eyes. He helped him drink the porridge and was about to leave, but he grabbed him.

"The official family..."

"Jin Slave, you will sleep with me tonight."

Wu Jinnu was happy and sad at the same time. No one could understand better than her. At this time, the official's move really showed their desire for children to the extreme. If she was so favored and gave birth to a boy and a girl, wouldn't it be right? The biggest comfort for officials

She got on the bed meekly, undressed and unbuttoned him, then lay down and expressed her love politely.

Zhao Deji pressed on her and just moved a few times when he suddenly heard a shout from outside the door: "The golden soldiers are coming..."

As if a talisman was urging him to die, his whole body went limp, and almost as a conditioned reflex, he rolled off Wu Jinnu, jumped under the bed, turned around and ran away.

This time, the golden soldiers really came.

Jin Wushu's army was divided into three groups. They were blocked by Yue Pengju along the way and failed to catch up with Zhao Deji when they passed Erquan Mountain. However, the other two groups of armies swept across the Song army in various places. One of them took a shortcut and secretly gathered in Zhenjiang. That night, a large-scale attack was carried out on the city. Fires burst into the sky inside and outside the city. Men made women cry. It seemed to have turned into a hell on earth...

Zhao Deji approved a single shirt and rushed out, only to find that Huang Qianshan and others had disappeared, and there were only a few palace people around him. Just as he was stunned, Hua Rong had already rushed over on horseback, and Xu Caizhi was straddling the sword. The two of them were almost at the same time. He shouted loudly: "Hurry up and get on your horse."

Zhao Deji ignored his humility and jumped on his horse, even sitting behind Hua Rong. Eunuch Kang and Xu Caizhi ran behind him. The four monarchs and ministers fled amidst the fighting sounds of the approaching Jin soldiers.

After luckily rushing out of the side city, Zhao Deji turned around and saw the wide-open city gate, with golden soldiers chasing him out like a tide.

His voice was very dry: "Rong'er, my time has come..."

"Your Majesty, we must escape."

"Rong'er!"

"Your Majesty, sit still!"

Hua Rong saw that one horse was riding two people, but they couldn't run fast. He shouted loudly, jumped off the horse, and hit the horse's back hard: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself!"

"Rong'er" Zhao Deji screamed, seeing that she was running for her own life, regardless of safety, giving way to the escaping BMW, but he felt that the last person around him had disappeared, and the entire road ahead was dark.

Hua Rong jumped off the horse, and as soon as she stood firm, she saw Xu Caizhi and Eunuch Kang running from the side, snatching a horse from somewhere. She was overjoyed, raised her bow and shot the man in the front, who immediately fell off the horse. She jumped forward, jumped on the horse's back, hit the horse and ran away.

Zhao Deji was running in the dark night and heard the sound of horse hooves chasing him from behind. When he looked back, he saw Hua Rong, Xu Caizhi and others chasing after the horse. He was so happy that he almost shed tears and shouted: "Rong'er, Cai Zhi" ,Hurry, hurry up..."

"OK."

In a hurry, the four of them ran into a forest road. After passing this forest road, there was a large expanse of water below.

There is no way out ahead.

The four people dismounted hurriedly and saw a boat parked in front of them.

Xu Caizhi ran over and knocked on the side of the ship. The captain rubbed his eyes in confusion: "It's midnight, sir. What can I do for you?"

"Old man, we have something to do and we need to cross the river urgently."

"It's dangerous in the middle of the night, let's do it tomorrow morning."

Behind him, the sound of Jin Bing's horse hoofs became louder and louder. Hua Rong was so anxious that he ran over and handed a jade pendant to his hand: "Old man, please, I have a family member who is sick and urgently needs to cross the river."
