When Hua Rong was five miles away, he dismounted his horse without tying it, leaving it free and open.
She ran back quietly, not walking through the front door. She just climbed over the wall quietly like a nimble civet cat and entered the room. She stood at the door for a while and didn't feel anything unusual. At this time, it was almost dawn, and she was about to push the door open when suddenly His body became cold, and two swords and spears attacked him from two sides.
Even though she had been prepared, she was still very surprised. There was indeed someone behind Miao and Liu. Otherwise, how could she suddenly "wake up" before leaving the city and send someone to assassinate them
King Qin was indeed right.
She drew her bow to resist and shouted: "Here comes someone..."
However, there was no movement among the servants outside the door. They must have been killed long ago.
She didn't dare to stay, and fought and retreated. However, the attacker seemed to have made up his mind to kill her. Seven or eight black figures came out of the darkness, all wearing black clothes and covering their faces, blocking all the way.
She repelled the two attacks, feeling very panicked, but she calmly shouted: "How dare you be so arrogant? I am the lady of the country bestowed by the Queen Mother. Are you planning to rebel?"
One person sneered: "When death is imminent, you'd better stop talking..."
The sound was as loud as a crow, and she was startled. When she was about to speak again, she was forced by two big knives and was unable to fight back. She could only hold her nerve in order to protect herself.
Another cut with the knife made her feel cold. She just thought that she really died here today, and she couldn't even see her husband and son for the last time.
She felt a chill in her heart, and she could even feel the blade of the knife scraping against her skin. Soon, the oppressive feeling disappeared immediately. A long spear was picked up, and they were knocked down immediately, and then a hand hugged her tightly. waist.
Even though it was dark, there was no need to identify that figure, she knew who it was. She was overjoyed and was about to speak, but she didn't say anything. She just pressed against his chest, then turned around in an instant, brandishing her bow and arrow, and stabbed him with his spear. , when the two of them fell down again, he did not hesitate to fight, jumped up and picked her up, ran out of the gate like flying, mounted his horse and rushed forward.
Further forward, there was a checkpoint specially added by Miao Liu and heavily guarded. Hua Rong lowered his voice: "What should I do if there is a checkpoint?"
"I know, if it doesn't work, just try harder."
However, it was difficult to break through, and the sky had already begun to light up at this time. As the two of them moved forward, they heard a sudden crackle at the checkpoint in front of them, and a thunder bomb exploded in the air. There was a sudden chaos, and even the nearby city wall A large section was also blown open.
Seeing this change, the soldiers guarding the city rushed forward. The two took this opportunity to hit their horses and passed by the city gate. However, when the guards turned back, they could only hear the whistling of the wind, and strangely said to themselves: "Just now Is someone going out?"
"I didn't see it. Things are weird today, everyone, please be careful."
After running a few miles away, the sky was already bright. Hua Rong sat in front, leaning his head on such a familiar chest. His whole body was soaked with sweat. When the wind blew, it was extremely cold, but his heart was hot. The voice was choked: "Pengju, why are you back?"
Yue Pengju happily hugged his wife. That night, he traveled a long distance. For fear of alarming the enemy, he did not even dare to take a guard with him. He relied on the horse's feet and returned home alone in disguise.
"I was afraid that you were in danger. After yesterday's meeting, I rushed back at night and sent a signal outside. You were nowhere to be seen, so I waited for you for a while..."
At that time, he was kidnapped by King Qin, so naturally there was no trace of him.
She didn't want to mention this, so she just smiled and said, "Pengju, if you hadn't arrived today, I would have been in danger."
"However, we have to thank King Qin. He must have set off the thunder cannon just now. If it weren't for him, it would be difficult for us to escape."
At this moment, she didn't want to talk about King Qin at all. Every time he did something more, she felt more guilty about him. Yue Pengju didn't notice anything strange about his wife, he just hugged her tightly and asked her: "Feng Da" "Is it cold?"
She shrank into her husband's arms, and he immediately untied his thick linen robe, wrapped her around her, and rode off to Jiangping with great speed.
In order not to attract attention, Yue Pengju returned to his residence first and went about his business as usual, while Hua Rong followed behind, a little delayed. Lu Yihao, Han Zhongliang, Zhang Jun and others discussed with him for a while, but they didn't know that he had conducted a long-distance night raid, and they had just arrived. Rush back.
After a while, the soldier reported back: "The lady of the country has arrived."
Yue Pengju also pretended to be happy, and immediately stood up and prepared to go out to greet him. When he heard that Hua Rong was coming, Lu Yihao and others went out to greet him in person. Yue Pengju hurriedly said: "My lords, there is no need to do this. My wife is here and I dare not bother you."
Lu Yihao said sternly: "My wife understands the righteousness and is in danger alone. She should be welcomed by the lower officials." In fact, they were all very surprised. Why did Hua Rong become the "Mrs. of the State" after returning home
Everyone welcomed him out, and Hua Rong had already sat down in the hall.
This was the first time for Lu Yihao and others to see Hua Rong, and they were all surprised. However, they saw that she was wearing a royal uniform, her face was rosy due to running around, she was pretty and very dignified.
Before Lu Yihao, Han Zhongliang, Zhang Jun, etc. all married famous prostitutes who were the most beautiful for a while. Now when he saw Yue Pengju's wife, Han Zhongliang stuck out his tongue and thought to himself, no wonder it was heard that Yue Pengju only had one wife and did not take any concubines. I have a wife with this sign.
Yue Pengju saw his wife introduced to the officials one by one. Hua Rong felt relaxed and energetic because he had completed the task. He told all the circumstances of the summons by the Queen Mother, as well as his observation and analysis of Miao and Liu, and even his doubts about them. He said everything, but he never mentioned the secret hidden in his uniform.
When Lu Yihao heard that she actually left his son in the palace as a "hostage", he bowed solemnly: "Madam is so loyal and loyal, please accept my bow."
Hua Rong was already worried about her son, so when she heard this, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Yue Pengju also worried about his son, and the couple felt very sad.
Everyone waited for the couple to calm down before Lu Yihao asked, "What other background does Miao Liu have?"
No one could answer. Only Han Zhongliang said: "I knew Fu Miao before I went to the official position, but I have never heard of his extraordinary abilities."
"Could it be that the puppet Qi Liu Yu instigated it?"
Hua Rong and his wife originally had this idea, but if there was no driving force behind it, and there were no outstanding figures in the think tank of Miao and Liu, how could they have a comprehensive plan
Yue Pengju said: "In this case, we must immediately raise troops. Otherwise, if we hesitate to decide, the official family and the Queen Mother will be in danger..." Everyone here, especially politicians like Lu Yihao, naturally understand the "danger" of the official family. If something unexpected happens, , the situation was even more uncontrollable. However, due to the taboo of the emperor, they did not dare to mention the emperor's "abolition". Lu Yihao pressed the hilt of the sword on the table, which was given by Zhao Deji when he went out to inspect the army, and said loudly: "This is The time has come to return to the need to serve the government, and we can eliminate the two villains Liu and Miao in one fell swoop..."
Zhang Jun has always been afraid of fighting. Among the three generals here, he has the largest military strength. In order to preserve his power, he is not willing to fight first. However, looking at Lu Yihao's sword, he did not dare to say anything. He changed his mind and looked at Han Zhongliang: "My family and Han Wu please treat each other as brothers and sisters, so first divide the two thousand troops and Han Wu..."
Han Zhongliang stuck out his tongue and said: "That's very good. I will immediately raise troops to serve the king."
Hua Rong looked at Han Zhongliang's habit and found it very funny. The boss was a man who always stuck out his tongue and made faces when he spoke, but when he saw his words, he was much more upright than Zhang Jun.
Lu Yihao turned his eyes to Yue Pengju, who said with emotion: "I have collected more than 1,500 old soldiers and horses. I only want to be a pioneer and open the way, and wait for the victory of Taiwei Han and Taiwei Zhang..."
Zhang Junzheng was worried about sending his own vanguard to fight head-on and damage his power. Hearing that Yue Pengju came forward, Lu Yihao was also very pleased: "In this case, it is urgent to raise troops to serve the king, so Yue Wu will be the vanguard, Han Wu's middle army, and Zhang Qi will attack from the north, hoping to achieve success in one fell swoop. "
He addressed all three of them by rank to show his closeness.
After settling in, everyone immediately separated and prepared for action.
When Yue Pengju and his wife returned to their temporary residence, they remembered that they had not eaten for half a day, and their stomachs were thundering with hunger. Seeing that his wife looked haggard and sleepy, Yue Pengju immediately said, "I ordered the food. You need to rest for a while before eating."
She smiled sweetly, stood next to him, and looked at the Lin'an march defense map spread out on the table with him. She shook her head: "I'm not tired. This time the army was raised is no small matter. When I entered the palace this time, I paid attention to the terrain and took notes. With…”
Before he finished speaking, he only heard an announcement, but it was King Qin who had arrived.
The King of Qin did not want to show his true face to others, so he came quietly and put on the necessary disguise. When Yue Pengju saw him, he was very happy, stepped back and bowed: "Your Majesty, King Qin, thank you for your help."
Hua Rong was cold, neither speaking nor looking at him. It was indeed him who fired the thunderbolt. Wasn't he gone? How could he come back? This crazy man, while others would not give up until he reached the Yellow River, he would not give up even when he reached the Yellow River.
She glanced at him casually, but King Qin didn't look at her at all, as if the two of them had never met last night. He took out a roll of something from his arms and said, "I suspect that Qin Hui's pair of old turtles were involved." Miao Liu mutiny. I sent people to his mansion for secret talks, plus Eunuch Kang’s information, you see, it’s all here... "
Both of them were shocked. Qin Hui was so scheming. He was obviously a spy of the Jin Kingdom, but he could still dress up as Su Wu, a shepherd. If he was behind the instigation, things would not be simple. However, Qin Hui wouldn't be so capable
Yue Pengju opened these things and took a closer look. It was a stack of inscribed words. He quickly asked: "Qin Hui is recuperating at home. These are just correspondence, ordinary lyrics and music. What can't be seen?"
"I just have suspicions and no definite evidence. This old turtle does stay in the house every day, but his wife's whereabouts are very strange... "
Hua Rong frowned slightly. Wang Junhua, a woman, is sometimes more vicious than Qin Hui. Suddenly, a vague intuition emerged in her heart: Could it be that Jin Wushu was involved in this matter
However, he was far away in the Kingdom of Jin, so how could he have such abilities
Yue Pengju and the King of Qin discussed it for a long time, but there was no result. Raising troops to serve the king was originally a very secret matter, but Yue Pengju had experienced many things and trusted the King of Qin very much. He did not hide anything from him and told him everything.
King Qin pondered for a while: "No matter what happens this time, we must get rid of Qin Hui, the troublemaker, otherwise, there will be no peace in the end."
Yue Pengju sighed: "There is nothing your Majesty can do to trust him."
