He turned around and left, and never came back that night.
When Hua Rong got up the next morning, she found that except for a few pirates on duty, the island was deserted. Even the gorgeous prostitutes were gone. It seemed that the pirates were out in force to make a "big deal" "went.
In the early morning, it was raining lightly and the sea was gray.
The "Lingji" ship moored at the port was still in silence.
This ship is nominally to transport a "strange stone" excavated in the southeast region for today's emperor, but in fact it is the property that the prime minister Cai Jing has accumulated for himself. Cai Jing and his son have great power in the government and the public, and they are the prime ministers. They are richest in the world. However, he But his sense of smell was more sensitive than that of the Fengliu Emperor. He had sensed the wind very early, and his ears and eyes were reporting back to the Jin Kingdom every day. The Jin Army's march south was imminent, and the prosperity of this dynasty was about to wake up.
Cai Jing was a well-known talent in this dynasty. He was well-read in history books. When he was at the highest level, he also understood the fate of powerful officials in the past dynasties. Therefore, he began to leave a way out for himself very early.
He didn't care when the beautiful woman who paid tribute last time was robbed. This time to protect his property, he sent a large number of elite soldiers to escort it to ensure its safe arrival.
After being on guard for several nights and passing by several docks, no pirates were seen. Today at dawn, the ship is about to set sail again.
The big ship had just set sail, and dozens of small boats driven by water wheels roared in with tall rams attached. Behind the small warship was a five-tooth warship.
Most of the soldiers on the ship were confidants mobilized by Cai Jing. The improvised sailors seemed to be powerful, but their combat effectiveness was as vulnerable as the national power of the dynasty. Seeing that this group of pirates was so large in number, they rushed towards them in an unheard-of formation. I don't know how many troops there were on the big ship. They panicked for a while. Before they had time to organize effective resistance, they were already knocked to pieces by the bumper. The pirates raised their swords and flew to the big ship. In an instant, they could only hear the howling of ghosts and wolves. …
King Qin stood on the deck of the big ship, watching boxes of belongings being carried out. He was very happy when he suddenly saw a five-color sailboat coming quickly in front of him. The decoration was not the embroidered ships of the imperial court. He was very experienced. You can tell at a glance that this is another pirate ship.
The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind, a powerful enemy is coming!
The main force of the pirates was looting on the big ship. Even if they gave the order, there was no time to retreat. It was too late, but it was too late. I saw the archers behind on the search ship opposite, under the cover of shields lined up on the deck. It rained down on the pirates who were looting.
"Return to the Five-Tooth Warship quickly!"
King Qin gave an order and grabbed a sharp arrow with his hand. The pirates ignored their property and rushed to the small warship to escape, but how could they outrun the flying arrow? Suddenly, there were screams and trampling on each other. It was impossible to tell whether they were pirates or soldiers. The bodies fell into the sea one by one...
King Qin waved the "White Deer" sword in his hand, and the hard arrows shot from a long distance fell to the ground one after another. Finally, he had almost grabbed a small warship, but the sharp armored soldiers on the opposite large ship were fully armed and rushed towards him. He came over and slashed with his sword at close range. Seeing that his side suffered heavy casualties and had never suffered such a disastrous defeat in many years, King Qin knew that he could no longer fight. Just as he was about to jump off the warship, three broadswords struck him from three directions. , he avoided the siege, but he could not avoid the sharp arrow flying from behind, which was inserted into his left shoulder... Almost at the same time, under the protection of several pirates, he had jumped onto the boat and boarded the five boats at lightning speed. Tooth warship…
On the big ship behind, a young man stood on the deck, looking at the river of blood on the opposite ship. Behind him, there were three guards with knives.
A big man with a golden gourd hammer came back in a hurry. His name was Chu Zhongwen, and he was the leader of a pirate force that had just been subdued by the Ninth Prince.
He faced the young man and bowed respectfully: "Ninth Prince, those pirates have escaped, do you want to chase them?"
"First clean up the property on this ship and dispose of it properly. At the same time, pay attention to the traces of the pirates, pursue them while they are victorious, and be sure to annihilate them all."
"yes."
The misty rain continued to fall, and the waves surged. The vast sea and the bustling capital were completely different styles. The Ninth Prince looked into the distance and felt very depressed. Perhaps, even the water in the sea could not destroy the palace. The drunken life and dream of death in the burning fire - except for the father and his six important ministers - the six thieves!
Most people in the world know that the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin is about to march over in a smooth manner.
Even Cai Jing has started to smuggle his own belongings to safety. The one who takes the sea route is just one of them, and his larger industry is still on land.
"Ninth Prince, the pirates are fleeing to an isolated island, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack..."
"What's the background of this pirate?"
"The pirate leader is nicknamed King Qin. He is the overlord of the sea in this area. They were the ones who robbed the 'Hua Shi Gang' last time. This time they were suddenly attacked and they will definitely not give up..."
An attendant took out an ocean map. The Ninth Prince looked at it carefully for a while before raising his head: "The purpose of our trip to sea this time is not to concern these pirates. Please proceed with caution."
"yes."
The island is unprecedentedly clean.
The seven or eight pirates on duty were on high alert and strictly guarded the remaining Sansou ships. They were very relaxed about Hua Rong's guarding, and basically only guarded the entrance to the sea to prevent her from escaping. According to King Qin's order, he was not here During this period, the two pirates were not allowed to monitor closely and they withdrew outside together.
Accompanying Hua Rong is young Yue Pengju.
This time, King Qin did not take him out to sea. Before leaving, he asked him to guard Hua Rong. Hua Rong was very surprised, but he was happy to be with the young man.
After all, they are teenagers. After being hungry for two days, they regained their strength in two or three days as soon as they were provided with food and water. Although the two have not known each other for a short time, they have already become the closest siblings. Hua Rong told her thoughts without any secret. He and the two of them spent the whole day thinking about how to escape through the inlet.
The young man proposed to build a simple raft, but Hua Rong thought that it would not only take a long time to build a raft with just the two of them, but also a single raft would not be able to escape from the vast sea.
However, she did not give up at all. Even if she had a glimmer of hope, she magnified it 100 times and started doing it. She and the boy immediately cut wood and built a raft at the inlet. Although no one disturbed her, three days later, even the required materials were Not fully prepared either.
That morning, Hua Rong was about to go out to build a raft with the boy. As soon as he went out, he called a pirate and hurried to the beach, looking very panicked.
Her heart tightened when she saw the young man running from the opposite side. He ran in front of her and whispered: "Sister, it's not good, King Qin is back..."
King Qin has returned from plundering again
Hua Rong was horrified. Every time he came back, there would be riots. Moreover, he once threatened that he would drive him away immediately when he came back this time. Before driving him away, he probably didn't know how to kill himself first.
The young man cleverly said: "Sister, I have hidden all those things in the water plants. King Qin will not find it..."
Hua Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "Go back first, lest the devil sees you and beats you again."
The young man asked anxiously: "Sister, what about you?"
Hua Rong didn't know what to do, but he tried to stay calm: "I'm fine, you go back first. He won't hit me."
It was true that King Qin had never beaten her. The young man felt a little relieved and went back.
The five-tooth warship docked.
The pirates on duty immediately realized that the situation was not good. This time, not only did they not "return with a full load", but only a dozen of Brother No. 10 who went out survived.
King Qin jumped off the boat. He was hit by an arrow, and his lightly bandaged shoulder was soaked with blood due to excessive movements. However, he didn't care. His eyes swept over the crowd like a hawk. When he saw that all the pirates on the island were completely lined up, he He nodded with satisfaction: "Strengthen your vigilance and don't relax at all."
"yes."
After he completed the deployment, the one-eyed dragon standing by immediately stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, the lady is safe and sound."
He nodded, turned around and walked towards his "imperial palace".
Hua Rong stood under the coconut tree at the door. She heard the sound of hurried footsteps and her heart jumped with fright. She already knew that King Qin not only did not steal any women or property this time, but also lost his troops. This is really unacceptable. I dare to imagine how he would vent this anger on himself.
There was no way to hide in the coconut tree, but she subconsciously tried her best to stick to the back, hoping to hide every second.
However, his voice soon rang out, and he almost ran over and hugged her: "Girl..."
He was covered in blood, but his attitude was not vicious, and his voice was even a little strange, as if he was reunited after a long separation. Hua Rong was so breathless in his arms that after struggling a few times, he slowly let go of her.
There was already a large bucket of water beside him. King Qin took off his coat in a few moments and began to rinse himself.
He didn't pay attention to the water dripping on the wound. Hua Rong saw that there was such a deep arrow wound on his back. If it was not bandaged properly, it would quickly fester in such weather.
After rinsing his body, he sat down on the chair, took out a bottle of ointment, and applied it on his shoulders with his backhand. After applying it for a few times, it was very awkward, and he suddenly said: "Girl, come and help me."
Hua Rong didn't dare to refuse, so he walked slowly over, picked up the ointment and applied it on him, then put down the bottle and stood aside.
"Girl, what are you doing standing there? Wrap this around for me too..." He murmured, gesturing for her to wrap the roll of cloth in front of her.
Hua Rong slowly bandaged his wound.
Her soft hands followed the strip of cloth, going around his back over and over again, and finally, it was wrapped up. King Qin's face was so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping with water: "This time we lost our troops, and only Brother No. 10 is left." There were more than a dozen, and I was lucky enough to escape with my life..."
She tentatively asked: "Won't the enemy come after you?"
"This island is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I won't be afraid of it for a moment."
Hua Rong remembered his promise to drive her away, but at this moment, how could she dare to ask more questions? He took a few steps back and stood as far away from him as possible, for fear of suffering the same fate as a fish in a pond.
A pirate brought wine and food, but King Qin didn't even drink the wine, he just ate. Seeing that the flowers couldn't melt, he gave her a piece of meat and said loudly: "Girl, eat quickly."
