"Girl..."
"Okay, okay."
Hua Rong put down the comb and took a closer look. When she felt satisfied, she rubbed his forehead and said softly, "Okay. Let's go."
At the seaside, Little Hutou watched the sails of the Five-Tooth Warship rising high, and happily ran in the direction of the ship: "Mom, are we going out to play?"
"Yes, daddy takes little Hutou to play."
"Shall we go together?"
"Let's go together. Mom will go too."
King Qin stood on the boat, stretched out his hand to pick up the little tiger head, and then pulled Hua Rong up. Only then did he realize that Hua Rong was wearing a black shirt and was carrying his inseparable little bow. The little bow was in the big fight in Lin'an. It had been severely damaged, and King Qin had completely repaired it for her a few days ago. The little tiger saw his mother carrying an arrow on her back, looking so heroic, and the colorful feathers on the arrowhead reflected brilliant light in the sun. He reached out and plucked it out. Feather: "Mom, I want..."
King Qin hugged him and raised him above his head: "Bad boy, don't break it. I will make a new one for you."
"I want to be like my mother."
"You have to grow older before you can carry it."
“…”
While talking and laughing, the three of them had already boarded the top of the warship, looking down at the boundless sea and the vast and strange scenery.
Hua Rong's eyes followed her son all the way, watching him laugh and jump, carefree. He still wore the golden tiger skin apron, looking very energetic, and also wore a small tiger skin crown on his head, with gold on it. Inlaid with shells, the whole person looks like a mythical sea elf.
Her heart was cut by a knife, but she could only smile. Whether in front of her son or King Qin, she could not show the slightest bit of weakness or hesitation.
It was a pleasant voyage. There was plenty of food on the Five-Tooth Warship, and my mother took good care of it all the way. The little tiger head had a great time, and in the distance, Changlin Island was already in sight.
The eyes of mother and son fell on a huge battleship in front of them, towering into the clouds, like a small hill. The little tiger asked in surprise: "Dad, is this also a ship?"
"Yes, it's a big ship."
"Is there such a big ship?"
"My father has conquered the world with it, and I will bring you more interesting things in the future... Hahaha, son, you will follow my father on the boat from now on. My father will teach you many skills..."
"Okay, then why don't we go back to Luoxia Island? Will mom come with us?"
King Qin turned to Hua Rong and glanced at her: "Of course mom is coming with us."
Hua Rong nodded and hugged his son: "Hutou, let's go play on the cruiser first and wait for dad to come back."
"Great."
King Qin ordered the boat to come closer and said, "Girl, you take your son to play on it. I'll go back quickly."
"OK."
He turned around and was about to leave when Hua Rong put down his son, stepped forward, gently hugged his waist, and kissed his face: "You have to take care of yourself."
King Qin was stunned by her tenderness. After a while, he touched his face and said with a smile: "Girl, I'll go back quickly." He thought about it, then looked at Hu Tou, "Why don't you come with me? Let’s play on Changlin Island, and when we come back, we’ll play on the big boat for a few more days.”
Hua Rong shook his head: "No, my son likes big boats, we will wait for you on the boat. Anyway, Changlin Island is right there, you can go there at any time."
King Qin thought about it, and then he strode out of the cabin, boarded another speedboat, and headed towards Changlin Island.
Hua Rong held her son's hand and stood on the high deck. She didn't look back until she saw the ship slowly getting smaller, and stared closely at her son's face. The little tiger shook his mother's hand and said with great interest, " Mom, this boat is so fun..." Before he could finish his words, a group of seabirds flew over his head, as if he could catch them with his hand. He stretched out his hand and chased after a few steps, but the seabirds had already flown away, and he chuckled, " Mom, catch me..."
Hua Rong smiled and took off his bow and arrow and aimed at a low-flying seabird. With a whoosh, the seabird fell to the deck with its wings fluttering and its snow-white tail flashing. The little tiger head ran over to pick it up. The little bird's wings were only injured. A little, and kept jumping in his hands.
"Mom, look..."
Hua Rong took the bird, patted his hand, gave it to him again, and then said softly: "Little Hu Tou is a good boy. From now on, you have to listen to daddy for everything, okay?"
"good."
"Hutou, you play here while mom goes down to get something."
"Great."
Hua Rong waved his hand, and a wet nurse and two minions who were standing aside came over and asked respectfully: "Madam, what are your orders?"
"Just take good care of the tiger's head. Thank you very much."
"yes."
Hua Rong then walked down the spiral staircase and looked back again, only to see the seabird in his son's hand falling on the deck, flapping its wings in an attempt to escape, while his son was chasing after him with a smile.
She burst into tears and turned around to leave.
A speedboat had already been parked beside the cruiser's battleship. As soon as Hua Rong approached, a man came over and lowered his voice: "Madam, the third uncle has prepared the boat, please come aboard."
Hua Rong got on the boat and got into the cabin.
"Madam, can you leave?"
"Let's go."
The boat was traveling at a high speed. From here, across a sea area was Wang Erqi's island, and then, a little further away, was the naval power of the Song Dynasty.
My heart was in confusion, and I didn't know where to go. When I walked out of the cabin again, it was already setting sun, and the cruiser and Changlin Island had already disappeared without a trace. Only then did I realize that my son, King Qin, was far away from me. We are already at the end of the world, and we will never see you again.
The sea was so calm and the sea breeze was so gentle. Her legs went weak and she knelt down on the deck and cried loudly. However, her eyes were dry and she could no longer cry.
The cry of the son could be heard faintly in his ears. He spent time together day and night, but he suddenly lost his mother. What would happen? King Qin, King Qin was so good to me. He had spent almost all his energy taking care of himself this year. What would happen to him if he left? She was so distraught that she stayed in the cabin and rarely came out. She had to go forward without hesitation to the end of the world.
In this way, no one knows day or night until the ship docks and a sailor walks in. His name is Yang Wu. He is one of Uncle Yang's close attendants and is experienced in dealing with things. This delivery of Hua Rong was all arranged by him. Yang Wu's The attitude was very respectful: "Mrs. Yue, here we are."
Here we are, where are we? She walked out of the cabin and looked at the green mountains in front of her and the distant water. This was the end of farewell, but it was also her new starting point.
She nodded, "Thank you."
"No, this is our business."
Yang Wu handed her a package, and Hua Rong took it. It was heavy. She was afraid of arousing the suspicion of King Qin, so before leaving, except for the clothes she was wearing and a small bow, she didn't bring much else. Only some bits and pieces to sell. The jewelry is as big as the sky and the earth is big, and you can always live slowly.
"This is what Third Uncle ordered for you."
She opened the package, and inside were heavy gold leaves and some silver. Although Uncle Yang didn't want her to hinder King Qin's great cause, he didn't want her to be in trouble, so he prepared a very generous package for her. She tied the baggage silently , was carried on the body, and in front of the eyes, a man was holding a big yellow horse. Yang Wu said again: "This is what the third uncle ordered the brothers to prepare for you."
"Thank you, Uncle San. Please thank him for me."
"Third uncle said that he will take good care of the little tiger head, so you must rest assured."
Hua Rong nodded without saying anything else. He took out two bunches of gold leaves and handed them over: "You share them with the brothers. You have worked hard too."
Yang Wu took a step back, determined not to accept it: "Young man, I am following the instructions of my third uncle. I don't dare to ask for Mrs. Yue's reward."
Seeing that he was resolute, Hua Rong could no longer force himself, so she had to say goodbye to him. After saying goodbye to each other, they would see each other again and got off the boat.
Her feet stepped on the land again. She looked at this familiar land, and all kinds of feelings came to her heart. She ran away from it, and then asked for help. She and this ocean formed an indissoluble bond of life and death. The big yellow horse was in front of her. Sticking out her tongue, she got on her horse, waved her whip, and got away.
sunset, night.
The small town of the Song Dynasty is shrouded in the cold sunset of early spring. At first glance, there are still yellow grass, deep pines and cypresses, and some bare trees. Spring is here, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors. Soon, everything will be covered with green.
There was a pine hill in front of him. Hua Rong stopped, led the horse uphill, tied the horse and let it graze as it pleased. He found a stone slab and sat down. At this time, he slowly thought about where he should go.
The cool evening breeze blew on the face, as if Peng Ju's gentle voice: "Sister Seventeen, Sister Seventeen..." The hatred buried in the heart suddenly rekindled. The murderers who killed Peng Ju, Zhao Deji, Qin Hui, Jin Wu Technique... These three culprits are the most evil, how can I let them go? How could it be? She clenched her fists. Compared with the violent king, her personal strength was so small. However, being small did not mean giving up. Now that her son had absolutely reliable support, he had no worries and was alone. There was nothing he could not let go of. Huo Not open
revenge! The only belief left is revenge! ! !
She thought carefully for a while, until dusk fell, and then quickly changed into men's clothes. Then, she took out the things in her bag and smeared her face casually. After a while, a man with a sallow complexion appeared in the small town ahead. There is a wine flag flying in front of the hotel. The color is still very new and it seems that it has just opened. The Song and Jin Dynasties peace talks have temporarily stopped large-scale wars and production has recovered to a large extent.
Hua Rong stepped in and was greeted enthusiastically by the waiter: "Sir, please come inside. Good wine and food will be served soon."
Hua Rong went in and sat down. There were not many people in the inn. The waiter served the hot tea diligently and asked, "Sir, what do you want?"
"Two steamed buns and half a pound of beef."
"Okay."
When the food was served, the waiter stood aside and chatted with the guest casually: "Sir, it's better for you to come now to eat steamed buns and beef. A few years ago, you couldn't eat it at all..."
Hua Rong put down the steamed bun and thought thoughtfully: "Has the war stopped, and business will be much better?"
"I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times. Common people, who wants to fight? Hey, everyone expected Yue Xianggong to defeat Zhuxian Town, completely drive away the Jin army, and end the war. Now it's better, the Song and Jin peace talks, for Paying tribute to the Jin people greatly increased the taxes on the people. People said that it was the old thief Qin Hui who raised the Jin people. They said that he was the workman of the Jin people and killed Xianggong Yue... "
Hua Rong was slightly stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Do you all know that Mr. Yue died unjustly?"
"Who in the world doesn't know that Xianggong Yue has suffered an "unwarranted" incident? Alas, once the poor Xianggong is gone, I, the Song Dynasty, will have no choice but to be a vassal to Jin. What I'm afraid of is that the Jin man's wolfish ambition will come back one day..."
