After running around in the middle of the night and being hungry for several days, she closed her eyes as if she had fallen into a coma. He was a little absent-minded for a moment, remembering the moment when he rushed out to save her when the fire broke out. At that moment, his mind was really He was completely blank, just thinking that no matter what, he couldn't burn her to death.
He obviously hates her very much, so what if she dies
He hugged her waist tightly, thinking of the enemy he was about to face, and said to himself: "Yue Pengju, since you have come to my door, I will not be polite." He was very proud. It turned out that keeping her was the right thing to do. With such a use, it would be a great joy if she could be used to kill Yue Pengju.
He was too proud, but she had her eyes closed, and she didn't know whether she was really sleeping or pretending to sleep. Her lips were pale and a little chapped. He took out the water bag and some dry food he carried with him, and said leisurely: "Hua Rong, please eat something. "
Hua Rong opened her eyes and looked at his face filled with triumph.
At this time, she was completely powerless to struggle. He put the water bag to her mouth and she drank it. He was very happy to see that her attitude finally became slightly docile. When she drank enough water, he took out another piece of water. I also ate dry food and Hua Rong.
He became happy and said: "Hua Rong, after you have eaten and drank enough, when I kill Yue Pengju, I will show you his head."
Hua Rong's voice was a little hoarse: "Where is my son? I just want to see my son..."
Her voice and breath were like silk, and Jin Wushu immediately said: "My son is right in front, and he is unscathed."
She breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes slightly.
His hand gently pushed away the scattered hair from her forehead, and she opened her eyes to look at him again. Her eyes were extremely dim, showing a death-like color. But she saw that Jin Wushu's forehead was black, and he smelled of burnt hair. , the headscarf also fell off, and the white clothes became in pieces, and they were in a mess.
His hand touched her cheek so gently: "Hua Rong, this is why I, the prince, got into such a mess just to save you. But, do you know why I wanted to save you?"
She remained silent.
"At that time, I didn't know the reason, but now I know..." His eyes gradually became ferocious, like a devil, "Hua Rong, don't get me wrong. I didn't save you because I like you. No no. No, I no longer like you. There are many women worth liking in this world, and you are not the only one. In fact, you are not a lovable woman at all... I saved you purely to use you as bait to catch you. Yue Pengju…”
His voice changed: "Someone set a fire and broke in. I guess it's Yue Pengju. What do you think?"
His tone was calm, not at all ashamed of his embarrassing escape just now, as if he was chatting with a friend.
Hua Rong was worried, but he actually knew that the person coming must be Yue Pengju. He must have come to save her. No one in the world cares about him, and he will never ignore him.
Even though he knew it was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, he would still come.
"Yue Pengju has great merits as King of Diligence. He will definitely get a bigger promotion this time and become the biggest enemy of our Daikin. If we can get rid of Yue Pengju in one fell swoop, hahaha, it will be a good thing for our country. Hua Rong, I People have been sent back to intercept and kill him, and Liu Lin's army has also rushed back. If I catch Yue Pengju, haha, I have to think carefully about how to torture him... "
He stared at her snow-white forehead, lost in thought, and looked very excited: "Tell me, is it better to imprison you and your wife together in Five Kingdoms City to keep company with Duke Hun De, or is it better to have Yue Peng lifted into pieces and quartered in front of you? ?”
Seeing that Hua Rong ignored him, he became even more proud and sighed: "Hua Rong, do you want to die with him? You have a deep love for Yue Pengju, so you want to die with him, right?"
There was still no answer, but he was furious: "Why? Hua Rong, why should I fulfill your wish? Haha, even if I die, I won't let you two die together. I want to do it in front of you Kill Yue Pengju, but as for you, I don’t want you to die. I want you to live and suffer for the rest of your life to punish you for your ruthlessness towards this prince... "
He said a lot of threatening words, but when he saw that the other party was still indifferent, he became even more depressed, so he stopped talking and just looked in the direction of the city, expecting good news from the soldiers who went back to intercept him.
He was almost certain that if he could catch one of the people coming, whether it was Yue Pengju or King Qin, it would be a great event. Both of them were future troubles that he would definitely get rid of.
When the wind blew, a branch trembled, and cold dew dropped on his head. Jin Wushu looked up and saw that the sky was dark and turned into a sea of ink. It was the darkest time before dawn. After this period, the sky was about to turn. Bright.
Being in the wilderness of the barren mountains, he realized the cold at this moment. Jin people are good at the north and are most resistant to cold. The winter in the south is not something to be afraid of, but at this moment, he still felt a bone-chilling chill. He hugged the woman in his arms tightly and felt His chest was very warm. He didn't know whether it was such darkness or such warmth. He sighed, and after a long time, he slowly said: "Hua Rong, if you follow me from now on, I will treat you well..."
The crying sound in front was Lu Wenlong who had just woken up and shouted: "Mom, mom..."
Lu Wenlong woke up long ago, and his cry was covered by the guard, but as soon as the guard let go, his cry came again.
Jin Wushu heard the cry and looked at Hua Rong, but he saw that she seemed to be indifferent to her son's cry. He was a little absent-minded and said slowly in her ear: "Actually, if you weren't so stubborn, you would definitely You are living a good life. You have me and a son, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Ahead, a spy flew on horseback to report: "Fourth Prince, there are only arsonists in the city, but no fighting army."
"Where is Liu Lin's army?"
"We've got into a fight with a Song army and are fighting..."
Jin Wushu's expression changed: "How many people are there in the Song army?"
"It's impossible to count them in the dark. They are heading southeast."
Jin Wushu's face was even more ugly: "Idiot, idiot..." To the southeast was the elite army he sent, with the purpose of intercepting and intercepting the Song army that might appear and assisting him in escaping. Could it be that Liu Lin was fighting with his own army of less than five people? Hundreds of people fighting against each other
He immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately ordered his guards to go out and intercept him. At this moment, another spy came running towards him. He had no time to salute and shouted: "The Song army is coming..."
Behind him, there was the sound of gongs and drums and the sound of horse hooves.
Although Jin Wushu was suspicious, the enemy was so fierce that how could he dare to delay it? He turned his horse's head and ordered to flee.
Wu Qimai and others were well prepared and set off quickly. They escorted Lu Wenlong and ran forward. Jin Wushu held a man in his arms, waved Fang Tian's painted halberd, and also galloped away.
This team of pursuers was none other than Yue Pengju and others. They discovered the direction in which the Jin army was escaping. They didn't know it was Jin Wushu, but they fought all the way. In order to bluff, they used firecrackers and dragged long branches on their horses' tails. The dust was swept away to create the illusion of thousands of troops. Jin Wushu was frightened twice. Although he suspected fraud, he did not dare to stay for verification. Seeing that Liu Lin had fallen into the trap, he was even more worried and had to flee hastily.
Along the way, Yue Pengju saw that this group of people was fleeing in an orderly manner, which was very different from the puppet Qi army. They did not abandon their helmets and armor, and they obviously had strong combat effectiveness. The person who could lead such a group must be Jin Wushu, so he did not hesitate. Chase him without hesitation.
He was leading the way, riding like the wind. At this time, the sky was already twilight, and in the distance, he could vaguely see the marks of the horse's hoofs in front of him, as well as some fresh horse dung.
He suddenly reined in his horse, jumped down, picked up a piece of horse dung, looked at it carefully, and immediately said: "The enemy is not far ahead, and these horse dung can't take more than three sticks of incense..."
After the crowd chased for a long time, they heard that the fourth prince was in front, and they all became energetic and rushed forward without caring about the outnumbered enemy.
Jin Wushu held the man in his arms and galloped away on horseback. In fact, he was not very anxious. To a certain extent, he still believed that Yue Pengju was bluffing, and his plan was to set up an ambush at a mountain pass in front of him in order to catch Yue Pengju.
While he was thinking about it, he heard continuous screams from behind and the whizzing sound of sharp arrows in his ears. It turned out that the pursuers were coming, and more than a dozen soldiers behind him had been killed or wounded.
He fled in a hurry and was cunning. He had less than a hundred people with him. Now he heard that his troops had been lost and he couldn't help but panic. Yue Pengju and others shot down several people in succession. They had vaguely seen the flags and flags of the Jin army, and they pursued them with all their strength.
At this time, the sky was already bright and bright. Jin Wushu pulled the reins of the horse and clamped the horse's belly with his legs. Several guards guarded him and stayed with him for a moment.
There was a whistling wind in my ears, and my heart seemed to be jolted out of my chest.
Hua Rong suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.
Jin Wushu was still galloping with his whip, not noticing her expression at all. Hua Rong's expression was still extremely calm, and he only slowly listened to the faint sound of horse hooves behind him.
She had no doubt at all that it was her husband, and it was definitely Peng Ju who was chasing him.
I feel infinite joy in my heart, but also anxious.
There were continuous screams behind him, and the pursuers were getting closer and closer. Jin Wushu couldn't help but look back, but in the dim light of the morning, he saw a man riding a sturdy horse, carrying a long spear, sweeping in pursuit.
Yue Pengju.
Although he could not clearly see the face of the man on the horse, he could still recognize that the spear was the symbol of Yue Pengju. Because this spear had defeated the generals of the Jin Kingdom many times, he also popularized this kind of marksmanship in his army. .
Taizu's Changquan Yue family's marksmanship was practiced by many soldiers in Ezhou and Xiangyang.
At this time, he suddenly lowered his head and glanced at Hua Rong, but saw that she still had her eyes closed, as if she had fainted from the jolt. Didn't she know that Yue Pengju was chasing her
There was a strange feeling in his heart. At this time, he seemed to be very uneasy, but also excited. Wu Qimai was in front, and a pseudo-Qi general (translator) who followed him was familiar with the terrain in this area and knew that there was a suitable fortification in front. The mountain col. There, Yue Pengju can be captured in one fell swoop.
If he speeds up as hard as he can, no matter how many people Yue Pengju has, he will definitely go there without ever returning.
There were continuous screams behind him. He had no time to rescue him and could not rescue him. He just galloped away. Behind him, an arrow fell on the ground. He even heard a cold wind in his ears. The arrow just now was actually close to his ear. fly by.
He didn't know that Yue Pengju was using an improved Xixia bow and arrow. This kind of arrow was not the ordinary "willow stem leather string", but was made from the horns of bamboo ox produced in Xixia. The bamboo ox weighs several hundred kilograms and its horns are It is very long, yellow and black, and is excellent for making bows. This bow not only has good performance, but also has a long range, which can reach a distance of 320 feet.
Listening to the sound of the bow and arrow hitting the ground, Jin Wushu had already judged that the distance between him and Yue Pengju was only 350 feet.
