Jin Wushu watched Zhao Deji and others being rescued by Yue Pengju, and the distance from the shooting range was getting farther and farther. Wang Erqi knew that his success was about to fail, so he knelt down and played: "Fourth Prince, the young general is incompetent..."
Han Chang said anxiously: "Fourth Prince, if we don't retreat, we will be surrounded..."
Jin Wushu turned blue with anger and gritted his teeth: "Withdraw!"
Han Chang got the order, turned around and ran away.
Here, Yue Pengju saw the Jin army turning around, firing the gun in his hand into the sky with a bang, and shouted: "Surround the Jin army and annihilate it in one fell swoop..."
Zhao Deji had collapsed in the cabin and murmured: "There is no time to pursue the Jin army at the moment, let's go back first..."
Hua Rong said anxiously: "Pengju is fully prepared. If the Jin army is allowed to escape, there will be endless troubles. It is better to give him a heavy blow..."
He woke up slightly and stood up: "In this case, I must catch Jin Wushu and skin him to vent my hatred..."
"yes."
The battle situation turned around in an instant, and the pirates who reacted quickly joined the Song army's camp and fought hand-to-hand with the Jin army. Everyone was surrounded and had no time to fight, so they fled one after another, causing countless casualties.
"Chase, quickly capture Jin Wushu..."
"There are many rewards for catching Jin Wushu..."
"Jin Wushu, you can't run away..."
After all, Jin Wushu was not good at sea battles. Once defeated, looking at the vast sea, he couldn't help but feel frightened.
Wang Erqi said: "Fourth Prince, the Song army has surrounded this water village, we can only move to the east..."
To the east is Wang Erqi's island, which can still hold up for a while.
Han Chang was worried: "When I go to the island, I'm afraid of being besieged..."
"The island is rich in products and well-reserved. One man can guard the island and ten thousand men can't open it. It won't be a problem to hold on for a period of time."
Jin Wushu saw that his pursuers were approaching and had no way out, so he had to quickly order the remaining troops to flee towards Wang Erqi's island.
Zhao Deji stood on the bow of the ship and saw that the Song army could not catch up. He was disappointed and said: "I asked Jin Wushu to escape again..."
Yue Pengju said: "No, there is a desert island ahead. We can besiege this island and capture Jin Wushu."
Zhao Deji breathed a sigh of relief. Although he still looked tired, he had just eaten, changed into dry clothes, and escaped from death, and the situation turned from defeat to victory in an instant. He felt happy and regained his appearance as an emperor. Looking at the illustrious civil servants and generals in the cabin, I finally lost some of my fear and scheming, and sighed: "Pengju, I'm lucky to have you this time."
"Young general's rescue came too late. I hope your majesty will forgive me."
"Not too late, not too late! Pengju, after this battle, I will reward you greatly."
Hua Rong heard clearly on the side, and she didn't know whether she was happy or worried. After this battle, according to her intention, she and Yue Pengju wanted to leave. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, but it is not a long-term solution. She only heard Yue Pengju say: "Thank you, Your Majesty. The young general does not dare to accept the reward for the time being, and we will wait until he can capture the Golden Wu Technique."
"Okay, Yue Pengju, you must capture Jin Wushu. I will kill him to sacrifice to heaven and wash away this shame and humiliation."
"yes."
He suddenly took a step back and held Hua Rong's hand tightly: "The young general has one more request. Please allow your majesty to allow Hua Rong, the young general's wife, to accompany the army."
Zhao Deji turned his eyes to Hua Rong, but saw that she was also looking at him, with a very nervous expression. Suddenly he thought of the half-fruit she sent him that night when everything was at a loss, and he didn't know how he felt in his heart. He also thought of Qin Shangcheng, who was also the rescuer. His great hero. For some reason, he didn't mention Qin Shangcheng, or the figure who was expected to bring endless trouble to Yue Pengju - Hua Rong, who was once the wife of King Qin. How could he give up now
Zhao Deji pondered for a moment and then said: "My ability to escape this catastrophe and see the light of day depends entirely on you and your wife. From now on, Hua Rong will follow you in the army..."
In front of everyone, when they heard the words "You two, you two", they looked at each other in surprise, realizing that they had gone through many difficulties and dangers, and now their fate was truly complete.
After a brief discussion of merit and rewards, Zhao Deji asked Hua Rong: "Why did Qin Shangcheng leave?"
These days, he relied on Qin Shangcheng for rescue, and had long wanted to recruit this powerful pirate force, but when he saw him leaving without saying goodbye, he knew that this person was difficult to control. He looked at Hua Rong, but saw her expression was indifferent.
"Hua Rong, Qin Shangcheng's escort was successful this time. I want to recruit him to serve the imperial court. What do you think?"
Hua Rong shook his head: "Qin Shangcheng is unruly by nature. It is better to let him settle on the sea and fight against the Jin army. In this way, the court can save military expenses..."
Zhao Deji nodded: "It makes sense. I will send someone to reward them generously in the future."
The prefect knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to go back first. This place is dangerous and it's not advisable to stay for a long time."
Zhao Deji turned around and boarded the ship of the Zhenjiang Prefecture. Supported by the civil servants and generals who arrived, he returned to Zhenjiang Prefecture to wait for the good news.
When Yue Pengju and Hua Rong met again, they were overjoyed, but had no time to say much. They immediately gathered people and horses to deploy the matter of capturing Jin Wushu. The discussion reached midnight, and they were exhausted, so the generals dispersed and went back to their cabins to rest, except for the two of them.
At this time, the two of them had been announced as husband and wife by Zhao Deji in public, and everyone knew about it. Therefore, they did not avoid suspicion and were in the same room together.
Yue Pengju hugged her tightly and sighed: "Sister, we have been separated too many times."
She was also very emotional: "It's thanks to King Qin. If he hadn't saved me, I would never have seen you again."
The King of Qin came to his aid several times, from breaking into the Golden Camp alone to escaping on the sea. Each time, he did not care about life and death, no matter the cost. Yue Pengju sighed: "I really don't know how to thank him, and I don't know how to face him."
Hua Rong was silent for a while, she didn't know.
Will King Qin give up here
If he refuses to give up, what should he do
My gratitude to him is getting deeper and deeper, but I am absolutely unwilling to abandon Yue Pengju and marry him.
With such entanglement, how can we cut through the mess with a sword
She was so confused that she reluctantly said: "Let's wait until Jin Wushu is caught."
"Um."
Yue Pengju looked at her through the increasingly faint candlelight and saw that she had closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep due to fatigue. He hugged her tighter, but tossed and turned and could no longer fall asleep.
On the warship of King Qin.
Sanshu Yang met King Qin and saw that he had several arrow wounds on his body, so he immediately took out medicine to treat him.
He took the dry food and water and ate a lot: "How did you meet up with Yue Pengju?"
It turned out that Uncle Yang Sanshu had a fierce battle with the Jin Army but failed. When he heard that Yue Pengju was leading his army, he had already learned that Yue Pengju had defeated the Jin Army in more than ten consecutive battles. When he saw that he had sent an envoy, he immediately contacted him. Once the two sides discussed it, they cooperated internally and externally. With a strange move, the Jin army was caught by surprise.
The King of Qin failed to find his wife, but he did not reveal anything about Hua Rong marrying someone else. They did not know about Yue Pengju and Hua Rong, and they only praised: "I didn't expect that the child on the island at the time has now become a He is the number one general in the Song Dynasty."
King Qin frowned. He saw that Hua Rong was out of danger and was eager to command his warship, so he left her temporarily. Now he immediately thought, what should he do when this kid Yue Pengju arrives
These days, he and Hua Rong share life and death and are inseparable. He has completely regarded her as his wife. He suddenly remembered that Yue Pengju publicly announced that he was married to her. Did he have a huge opponent
How could he endure it? The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, so I got up and left.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"I'm going out for a while."
The Song troops on duty naturally knew that this was a "friendly" warship and waved their flags.
King Qin looked at the ship opposite in the night. The commander on the ship was Yue Pengju. At this time, Hua Rong was with him!
When he came across the boat, the defender asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"I'm looking for Yue Pengju."
Yue Pengju came out after hearing the sound, and King Qin saw Hua Rong following him. Although they were sleepy-eyed, both of them were wearing neat armors, and it was obvious that they had not done anything transgressive.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Yue Pengju was very grateful to him for rescuing Hua Rong and saluted: "Your Majesty Qin, thank you for rescuing my wife many times. Thank you very much. Yue Pengju has nothing to repay. If there is an opportunity in the future, he will do the hard work of a dog and horse in order to repay..."
He sat down awkwardly: "Who wants you to thank me? What kind of kindness do I have to you?"
"Thank you for saving Hua Rong."
"I want to thank you so much. If you hadn't arrived in time, this girl wouldn't have been able to hold on."
Only then did he turn to Hua Rong: "Girl, are you okay?"
"It's okay. What about you, how are your injuries?"
"It's okay, it's just a small injury."
The two replied calmly, and King Qin suppressed the excitement in his heart, "Girl, follow me back to the warship, and don't bother Yue Pengju anymore!"
Hua Rong shook his head and said calmly: "Let's discuss how to hold Jin Wushu first."
"no!"
He was very angry, but he saw her leaning against the side of the boat, her body swaying a little, presumably because she had been soaked in the sea for a long time and caught the cold. He immediately stood up and walked towards her, touching her forehead: "Girl, you have a fever again? "
"I want to rest, please go back first, okay?"
King Qin was about to get angry and force her, but when he saw her like this, he really had no choice but to say: "Okay, take down the Jinwu Technique, and I will come to pick you up again."
He didn't wait for Hua Rong to answer, turned around and left. Hua Rong and Yue Pengju looked at each other in silence.
Yue Pengju supported her: "Go in and rest."
"Um."
At this time, Jin Wushu had been chased to Wang Erqi's island, but because the Jin army retreated in time, after checking, there were still more than 12,000 troops.
Jin Wushu led his troops up the mountains and seas to capture Zhao Deji. He swept through King Qin's divisions all the way and made many surprise attacks. He defeated the many with less and chased Zhao Deji in a panic. This time he chased to the sea. He could have easily captured him. Unexpectedly, he would instead be captured. Got into such a difficult situation.
As soon as they were stationed, they heard the battle report, saying that King Qin and Yue Pengju were cooperating to attack the island.
Han Chang hurriedly ordered the formation and fought against the Song army. Only then did he realize that although the navy led by Yue Pengju had less than 5,000 men, it had a strict formation and a measured advance and retreat. The Qin King's warship on the left also relied on its Well-equipped, the Jin army was quickly defeated and by the evening, only more than 2,000 people were left.
However, more than a thousand people retreated to the island. The terrain was difficult, and they used stones and bows and arrows as weapons. One man could guard the gate and ten thousand men could not open it. The Song army could not attack for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they had to retreat temporarily.
Jin Wushu had never suffered such a large-scale defeat in his life. He just thought that Yue Pengju was really his nemesis. As long as he was around, nothing good had ever happened to him.
Wu Qimai came in with some food and said, "Fourth Prince, please eat some."
He closed his eyes tightly and looked pale.
"Fourth Prince..."
"How long can we hold on on this island?"
Wu Qimai suddenly heard this question and couldn't answer for a while. He was even more uncomfortable with the sea climate and fled to the island. He was even more desperate than Jin Wushu.
Jin Wushu lamented: "Yue Pengju is like a god with his troops. It will be even more difficult for us to escape."
Wang Erqi, who was waiting outside the door, couldn't help but rushed in and knelt down in front of him: "Fourth Prince, this young general deserves death. The young general must find a way to let the Fourth Prince escape..."
"That's all, that's all, Yue Pengju is so good, I can't blame you."
Wang Erqi burst into tears: "Fourth Prince, just wait, the young general will find a way out." After he finished speaking, he rushed out without waiting for Jin Wushu's reply.
