Yue Pengju held her hand tightly, and the humiliating scene he had just witnessed was imprinted on his heart. Any man with a little bit of blood would have the ambition of revenge!
"Isn't there also the Ninth Prince? I predict that the Ninth Prince must be on his way to King Qin."
She cheered up a little: "Right now, the Ninth Prince is the only one fighting against the enemy. I hope he can turn the tide. If necessary, we will help him even if we are broken into pieces."
"Yes. As long as we can kill the gold thief!"
From a distance, Jin Wushu watched the two siblings leave. Looking back, his bodyguard Wu Qimai said: "Fourth Prince, why did you let that woman go again? It will be difficult to find someone in the future. Besides, she is probably not in that position." On the list.”
Jin Wushu laughed: "My elder sister is beautiful and my younger brother is brave and brave. If the men and women of the Song Dynasty are like this, they will be invincible in the world. If these two people are not willing to be used by me, they will have no sense of conquest."
"What does the Fourth Prince mean?"
Another guard, Jin Sheng, smiled and said: "Beauty has loved heroes since ancient times, so her sister must be willing to marry the fourth prince as a concubine. Besides, her brother, the fourth prince, is also useful... Now, let alone a little girl, the Song Dynasty We have the monarch and his ministers under our control, why are we afraid that she can fly away?"
"The Fourth Prince is still wise."
Jin Wushu smiled and said: "You two should stop flattering me. Just be careful not to let her be caught by the rebel army. If she falls into the hands of the eldest and second princes, it will be difficult."
"yes."
A heavy snow fell in the sky, and soon it was a vast area. Everyone walked back. From a distance, they saw Zong Han walking up surrounded by a group of generals. From a distance, he called Jin Wushu: "Fourth brother, a new group has arrived. Beauty, everyone is choosing, why don’t you choose one?”
Jin Wushu smiled and shook his head: "You can ignore me for now."
"Forget it, fourth brother has always had a good vision. Haven't you always liked the women of the Southern Dynasties? When the princesses and princesses are delivered, you can choose a few of them."
Jin Wushu laughed: "Let's talk about it then."
"Haha, I remember, fourth brother, you once said that you fell in love with a female bug. Is that girl's name on the list?"
"Haha, the woman that I'm attracted to is not a slut. I'm afraid that none of your golden branches and jade leaves can match..."
"Oh? Is she really that beautiful? Where is she now?"
Jin Wushu said seriously: "This woman is the one that I like, no one can act rashly."
"Haha, the fourth brother is so serious, I am more and more curious, what is the beauty of the country? Whose daughter is it?"
Jin Wushu blushed: "I still don't know her name..."
Zong Han found it incredible: "Do you not know her at all?"
"I know her. I've met her many times. Once the younger brother has completely conquered her, I can take her to toast to the elder brother."
"Hahaha, very good, very good!" Zong Han said again: "Fourth brother, do you have anything new?"
"My little brother got the information and said that the ninth prince of Song Dynasty is on his way back to King Qin..."
Zong Han was overjoyed: "Okay! I'm worried that I won't be able to catch this last fish that slipped through the net. With him here, it will be a disaster after all. When he arrives in the capital, he will be able to eradicate the roots and completely capture the Song Dynasty..."
Jin Wushu pondered for a moment: "I heard that the Ninth Prince is very brave in battle, which is comparable to ordinary royal children. He also has a group of elite soldiers and generals under his command. If you are unable to defeat him, it is best to outwit him..."
"How to outwit the law?"
"The daughter of the Song Dynasty has not been sent yet. When negotiating peace next time, it is better to ask the ninth prince to be a hostage. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty will definitely order him to come..."
"What a good idea. The Emperor of Song is as timid as a mouse. He always changes the hostage according to our requirements. This time, we propose that the Ninth Prince be the hostage, and they will definitely agree."
"I just don't know if the Ninth Prince will fall for it. The Ninth Prince has a lot of troops at his disposal. He is not comparable to those stupid royal children..."
"I immediately put pressure on the Emperor of Song to capture this henchman first. Fourth brother, your map played a great role in this siege. Your contribution will be greatly remembered."
"Thank you, brother."
It snowed heavily for three consecutive days, and everything inside and outside the city of Kaifeng was desolate. Suddenly, all the shops were closed. Except for the golden soldiers who robbed, there were no people walking around easily. People were hungry and cold, and the New Year was about to arrive.
Hua Rong and Yue Pengju were hiding in the abandoned Taoist temple outside the city. Zhenren Guo had already escaped. After repeated looting, even the gold foil on the body of the Taoist immortal was stripped off, leaving everything in ruins inside and out.
The wind blew in, and the fire seemed unable to withstand such a cold night. Even sitting by the fire, it was extremely cold. Hua Rong jumped up and said, "Pengju, we can't wait any longer, let's just set off." Bar… "
Blocked by the heavy snow, the two of them could not go far at all, and had nothing to eat. They were trapped here, hungry and cold, and had no way out. Seeing her urgency, Yue Pengju took her hand and sat down, calmly saying: "Sister, it's snowing really hard now." , we can’t tell the road clearly when we go out. We will leave immediately when the snow stops or becomes lighter.”
She was restless, took a wooden stick and poked at the fire in the middle, and the fire crackled. Yue Pengju took out the last cold steamed bun in his arms and placed it beside the fire. After a while, there was a test. Hot scent.
Hua Rong said hurriedly: "It's better to keep this steamed bun..."
"Sister, you can't be hungry anymore. You eat first. I'll go out in the evening to see if I can find something to bring back..." He looked at Hua Rong's increasingly pale face and handed the bun to her hand, "Sister ,you eat first."
In the past three days, the two of them had lived on a few steamed buns. Now, only the last one was left, and the snow didn't know when it would stop. Hua Rong took the steamed bun, divided it into two halves, and was about to hand it to him when he heard a There was a strange sound. The two of them were afraid that it was Jin Jun, so they were very careful. Yue Pengju stood up and quietly walked to the door. The door was pushed open, and a woman almost crawled in. She fell to the ground and fell unconscious. Behind her, followed a middle-aged woman covered in blood, who kept shouting: "Miss, Miss..."
Yue Pengju hurriedly helped the two of them up, and Hua Rong also hurriedly came over to help lift the two of them to the fire. He saw that the girl was the "Wanwan" whom he had met a few days ago, and the middle-aged woman was her nanny Li. .
When Mrs. Li saw the two of them, she bowed her head and said, "Benefactor, my lady is fainting from hunger. Please do me a favor and give me something to eat..."
Hua Rong quickly divided the two halves of the hot steamed buns between the two of them, boiled water in a broken iron pot that he found, and poured two bowls of it. Mrs. Li was overjoyed and knelt down on the ground: "Thank you both."
"No, please save your girl quickly."
Mrs. Li quickly took the steamed buns and water and fed them to Wanwan. After a while, Wanwan woke up leisurely.
"Miss, are you awake..."
As if she had traveled to the underworld, Wanwan asked feebly, "Nanny, where are we?"
"It was these two kind-hearted gentlemen who saved us... Thank you very much..."
Wanwan opened her eyes and took a closer look at the two of them. She suddenly became happy and pointed at Yue Pengju: "It's you, it's you... Nurse, they were the ones who saved me that day..."
The wet nurse knelt down again: "Thank you two benefactors..."
"Please get up quickly." Hua Rong helped her up, and Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "May I ask your surnames?"
"My name is Hua Rong, and this is my brother Yue Pengju."
Wanwan was deeply blessed: "Thank you, sister..." She turned her eyes to Yue Pengju, seeing that this heroic young man saved her twice, "Thank you, brother Yue..."
Yue Pengju rarely interacted with women except for his beautiful appearance. He asked Wanwan Yingying to bow down, his face turned red, and he just said: "Girl, please get up quickly..."
Wanwan wanted to thank her again, and Hua Rong said with a smile: "The country is ruined and the family is destroyed. We are all unfortunate people, so there is no need to be polite... Wanwan, what are your plans in the future?"
Wanwan and the wet nurse looked at each other. Li's face became even more anxious and she began to cry: "The Song army searched for women to pay off debts. Miss escaped by chance. The master and his wife have been killed. The world is so big, but we are homeless. Miss I’m only 16 years old and I really don’t know what to do…”
Hua Rong saw the two of them crying miserably and glanced at Yue Pengju. Yue Pengju was even more at a loss. Now that the world was in chaos, his sister would naturally follow him. There was no need to think about this problem, but what should he do with this strange woman
Hua Rong sighed: "Do you have any relatives or friends?"
"My relatives and friends are in Luoyang, and the journey here is so long that it is really unimaginable..."
Hua Rong had no choice but to say, "Just stay here for now. When the weather clears, I'll see if I can find a safe place to take you with me..."
Wanwan gently tried to cry: "Thank you sister."
In the troubled times, Duckweed had something to rely on, like grabbing a life-saving straw. She raised her eyes and looked down on Yue Pengju, but saw that the young man only looked at his "sister" and remained silent, as if he was obeying her sister's words.
The snow was falling more and more heavily. Wanwan and the wet nurse ate half a steamed bun and drank boiled snow water, which made their bodies warmer. However, Hua Rong and the other two were hungry.
Yue Pengju saw her smiling and occasionally talking to Wanwan, and her face became increasingly pale, even a little weak. He couldn't help but whispered: "Sister, I'm going out for a while..."
Hua Rong naturally understood what he meant. The snow was falling so heavily that it would be too dangerous for Yue Pengju to go out to look for things. She held his hand tightly and looked at the getting darker night sky, and just said: "Wait a little longer. Well, let’s wait until tomorrow…”
He noticed that Hua Rong's hand holding his was limp and weak, and he felt even sadder. He stood up and said, "Sister, I'm just going to take a look outside..."
This time, Hua Rong didn't stop him.
After a while, Yue Pengju came back with a happy face and a rabbit in his hand.
Hua Rong was also very happy. The two were about to kill the rabbit, but Wanwan shouted in surprise: "Stop..."
Hua Rong was very surprised: "What's wrong?"
Wanwan's face was full of anger and sadness: "The rabbit is such a cute animal, how could you kill it?"
Hua Rong couldn't laugh or cry, so Li quickly said: "My lady believes in Buddhism and never kills animals. She loves rabbits most in her life, so she can't bear to kill them..."
While everyone was talking, Yue Pengju seemed to turn a deaf ear and directly took a waist knife to kill the rabbit, skinned it, and then put it on the fire to roast.
Wanwan was so frightened that she just screamed and fell to the side, crying sadly.
