Yue Pengju saw that King Qin's eyes were about to burst into flames, and he said calmly: "King Qin, your kindness is appreciated by both of us. However, sometimes people do something and don't do something..."
"Damn, what do you mean by doing something but not doing anything?" King Qin was so angry that he turned around and almost spit on Yue Pengju's face, "I only know that you ignore the safety of your wife and children in order to be a hero. This is what you mean. This is the best chance for you two to escape. From now on, you can really have a bright future and have no worries. Why should you sacrifice your life for a shameless and foolish king? Yue Pengju, I might as well tell you the truth, I came here today just to ask you two to leave. Your life and death? I can leave her alone, but you have to ensure the safety of the girl. I saved her and handed her over to you, not to let her die again... "
He traveled thousands of miles and chased a woman for ten years, even if he gave up his own island and a free and happy life. However, after all the hardships, he finally had to let go and beat her almost to death. It was not easy. After rescuing her, he vowed not to hurt her again. The rebels had taken control of the capital, so how easy was it to save Zhao Deji? Now, how could she be allowed to die again? All the people in the world, whether the Song Dynasty is destroyed or not, what does it matter to me? As long as the girl doesn't die, what does it matter whether a fool like Zhao Deji becomes the emperor or not
He got the news and rushed over immediately. He originally wanted to stop the two of them, but he didn't expect that they were so stubborn.
Yue Pengju glanced at his wife, their eyes exchanged, and Hua Rong nodded.
Yue Pengju then bowed deeply: "King Qin, I appreciate your kindness."
King Qin was so angry that he struck Yue Pengju with one palm, almost staggering him: "What do I want you to thank me for?"
Yue Pengju knew that he meant well, so he didn't argue with him and only took a few steps back. Hua Rong knew the temper of King Qin and saw that he wanted to chase Yue Pengju, so he stopped him and said softly: "Qin Shangcheng, please calm down. …”
King Qin gasped and stared at her, "Girl, I came here today just to prevent you two from going back."
Hua Rong shook his head.
King Qin stood at the door like a great god: "Okay, you can leave if you want. Yue Pengju is leaving alone, and you are not allowed to go with him. You take your children and take refuge first."
She still shook her head and said in a very firm tone: "My husband and I share life and death."
King Qin was disappointed and sad, his eyes were blood red: "Girl, if you leave this door today, I will no longer care about your life and death, and I will never see you again... Damn it, Zhao Deji, he really So important?" He originally wanted to say, "Is Zhao Deji more important than me?" Before he said this, he changed his mind again. The girl actually turned against him again because of Zhao Deji.
Hua Rong suddenly laughed.
At this time, the girl can still laugh? King Qin looked at her charming eyes and gentle smile in disbelief, and said angrily: "Why are you laughing?"
"Qin Shangcheng, to me, the emperor is far inferior to you!"
"!!!"
"Qin Shangcheng, thank you, I won't die, don't worry. But, Pengju, he is the governor of the Song Dynasty. He is in charge of an army. It is a matter of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. What does it mean to run away at this time? That is like that. ,What’s the difference with Qin Hui and others?”
"If I don't die, if you come to see me again in the future, I will make tea for you to drink..."
Like an invisible soft knife, King Qin almost collapsed. Looking at the exquisite tea sets on the table, the warmth of the past passed through his heart, as if there was still her residual warmth on everything, so kind and warm.
Because of this, he couldn't let her take risks.
He couldn't say a word anymore. However, he still stood at the door, firmly holding the way out, and suddenly said: "I have another idea..."
"What's the idea?"
"Do princes, generals, and Xiang Ning have any idea? Heroes have emerged in troubled times since ancient times. Now that Zhao Deji has abdicated and the Queen Mother is in charge, what ideas does a lonely old woman and a child with a yellow mouth have? All soldiers and horses in the world must be waiting and watching, and a civil strife is inevitable. Yue Pengju, you might as well rise up. You have tens of thousands of troops in Xiangyang. With your talents, you may be able to achieve great hegemony. Back then, the Taizu of the Zhao family took advantage of the orphans and widowers of the Lao Chai family in the later Zhou Dynasty to rise up and seize the throne. What can he do that others can't do? Miao and Liu, two unknown people, managed to conquer Zhao Deji. What barrier does the Zhao family have now, except for Han? Zhongliang is slightly better, Zhang Jun and Liu Guang, what are their abilities? They are all vulnerable! I have already analyzed that after years of fighting and serving as the Xuanfu envoy, you have led an army alone and have a certain foundation. Give it a try. Maybe… "
The two of them were dumbfounded.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, King Qin spat bitterly: "Damn it, I'm playing the piano to a cow. If you two want to die, just go. From now on, I have nothing to do with life or death."
He turned and left.
Hua Rong wanted to ask him where he was going, but he didn't ask.
Yue Pengju didn't speak either.
Both husband and wife had the same thoughts. This matter was difficult and dangerous, and King Qin had no intention of stepping into this troubled water.
However, the two of them suddenly thought of their son. It was okay for the couple to be in danger, but what about their son? My heart suddenly felt very heavy. The word "loyalty" sounds nice to say, but when it comes to actually doing it, who knows the difficulties and dangers involved
Especially for Yue Pengju, his wife had been injured and injured for a long time. How could she be easily put in danger again after she finally came back alive? He pondered for a moment: "What King Qin said is not unreasonable. You don't need to return to the palace. You can take your son to a safe place immediately."
"How is this possible?"
"Why not? I will naturally raise troops to serve the king, even if it is dangerous..." He wanted to say, "Even if it is dangerous, it is still a death to repay the king. I have done my best and there is no need to sacrifice the life of my wife and son." However, knowing this, his wife is even less willing to do so. If you are willing to leave, shut up immediately.
Hua Rong naturally understood what he meant and said softly: "Pengju, we are always together."
He immediately said: "That's fine. You don't need to go back to Beijing, just take your son and me in the army."
In this way, no matter what happens, you can still protect your wife.
Hua Rong pondered for a moment: "Wu Zhan knows that we have a close relationship with the emperor, and even if we retreat, we can't protect ourselves. Besides, everyone knows that we were supposed to be in the capital, but as luck would have it, we arrived in Pingjiang at this time. If we didn't return to the palace, what would happen? Shouldn't we let those who are interested make random guesses? Regardless of whether the Miao Liu rebellion succeeds or not, we will fall into a dangerous whirlpool, ranging from being discredited to being criticized. Therefore, it is better to just give it a try. I will take my son back to Beijing first. You Gather the old troops along the river and make King Qin's plan again."
Yue Pengju immediately objected: "No, your return will be unpredictable.
Hua Rong was calm and composed: "Pengju, don't worry, even if Miao Liu is more rebellious, he will never dare to publicly kill Mr. Lu's orphan..." Zhao Deji's award to Lu Wenlong was private and not made public. Miao Liu and others also She didn't know the child's true identity. The reason why Hua Rong dared to take her son back was because she was desperate. She thought that as long as the child's identity was announced at the right time, the two murderers would not dare to kill too much.
Yue Pengju also thought of this, but his son would not be in danger, but no one would care about his wife's safety. Hua Rong smiled sweetly: "Since ancient times, when the two armies are fighting, they have not cared about the young and old. As long as you lead the army, Miao and Liu Er will People must worry about three points. Even if there is a crisis, I will first find a way to escape."
Yue Pengju kept shaking his head: "I don't see any way to escape."
"Have you forgotten Mr. Zhai Ruwen and Zhai? Qin Hui is far away. He must be in charge of the court. He will definitely find a way to deal with the evil."
Hua Rong's words were actually unconvincing, but she was resolute. Yue Pengju knew his wife's temperament and couldn't stop him. Besides, the current plan had to be this way. Yue Pengju nodded: "I will first deploy troops to intercept the mailbox leaving Beijing. All letters and official documents were not opened and were destroyed directly.”
After the couple had a good discussion, Yue Pengju sent four of his most trusted guards to hide their armor and escort Hua Rong and her son back to Beijing.
There was no obstruction along the way. The Miao and Liu armies were all stationed in the imperial city, and there was no guard on the outskirts. Hua Rong had just returned home when a woman rushed out and called out: "Sister Hua."
When Hua Rong saw how she was dressed, she looked like a maid, but she was Wanwan.
Hua Rongping stepped back and said sweetly and with tears in her eyes: "Sister Hua, something bad has happened, Miao Liu has rebelled, Ninth Brother is in danger..."
Hua Rong nodded: "I already know. That's why I rushed back. Wanwan, you don't need to panic."
When Wanwan heard that she was originally in Jiangping, but rushed back after the incident, she was stunned: "Sister Hua, you guys..."
"Pengju is summoning his old troops and contacting several generals to work together to serve the king. Wanwan can relax for the time being."
Wan Wan said happily: "Great, I will go to the palace immediately to report to the Queen Mother."
Hua Rong didn't hold back, and after a few more discussions with Wanwan, Wanwan disguised herself and went back to the palace.
As soon as Wan Wan left, Hua Rong immediately closed the door to rest, preparing to face the upcoming danger. However, being alone at home, she felt restless and had trouble sleeping and eating. In the past year or so, she had never been so separated from Yue Pengju, and she had already become accustomed to the two. During the days when we were together, we were suddenly alone, and our hearts felt empty and even more desolate. If I had had the slightest hesitation about rescuing Zhao Deji before, but today I entered the palace, I became more determined. Not only Zhao Deji, but also the Queen Mother, Tianwei and even Wanwan , everyone's lives are in the hands of the two murderers. How can the eggs be intact when the nest is overturned? Even without Zhao Deji, the two of them would definitely not sit idly by.
Let's talk about the successful mutiny of Miao Fu Liu Zhengyan. In order to maintain the dignity of the Song Dynasty, the Queen Mother had to go to court with the young emperor Zhao Jun every day and summon all the officials.
When all the officials saw Miao and Liu running rampant, many of them excused themselves from going to court because of illness. But Zhao Jun was young, how could he sit still? If she couldn't do it for half an hour every day, she would go to the harem to play with Concubine Pan Xian on the pretext of defecation. The Queen Mother was left alone to support her. In order to have a discussion, she asked Tianwei to hide in the back hall and listen to the music.
