She followed Xu Caizhi and walked in. She saw seven or eight banquet tables in a hall. They were all officials from Yingtian Mansion and generals from Xiangzhou Camp. Because it was a war, everything was kept simple. The Ninth Prince was wearing a red robe and sitting at the head table. Next to him is a woman wearing a bright red wedding dress. The woman is about seventeen or eighteen years old. She is strong and although not very pretty, she is dignified and generous. She also has a bit of heroism in her eyebrows. She thinks she comes from a family of military commanders. The reason was Wu Jinnu, the sister of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Jiedushi envoy.
The Ninth Prince was having a banquet, and Xu Caizhi hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear. He raised his head, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately stood up and walked towards Hua Rong, who was standing at the bottom, with a trembling voice: "Rong'er, you came back!"
Hua Rong smiled slightly and made a big gift: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince. Hua Rong felt ashamed and had no gift to give, so he had to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha, toast to the prince, and express his feelings..."
She poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. The Ninth Prince held the wine glass, but how could he drink it? I just felt like I had overturned a bottle of five flavors in my heart, sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy, and I didn’t know what it was like. Jin Bing made a list to arrest the ladies of the royal family. Thousands of them were all imprisoned in Liujia Temple. They were heavily guarded and no one could escape. Knowing that Hua Hua Rong was captured and there was no hope of rescue. He almost gave up the idea of her surviving. Unexpectedly, not only did she come back, but she came back at such a moment.
At this time, the auspicious moment has arrived, the ministers have already retired, and the bride has been led into the bridal chamber. Prince Ninth stared blankly at Hua Rong and Xu Caizhi walking out with everyone, stood for a long time, and sat down again. I drank three cups by myself.
Xu Caizhi took Hua Rong to settle down. As soon as he left, Hua Rong didn't care to take a closer look at the environment. He collapsed on his bed, so tired that he fell asleep almost immediately.
I woke up after only sleeping for a while, as if I had had a nightmare, and I couldn't remember it at all. There was a bang bang sound in the distance, and it turned out that it was just the fourth watch.
She was still so tired that she couldn't even open her eyelids, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. In a daze, she suddenly heard a sigh outside the window. She was startled, turned over and jumped up, walked to the window, and shouted softly: "Who is it?"
The Ninth Prince said in a deep voice: "Rong'er, it's me."
She stood by the window without opening it: "Your Majesty, haven't you rested yet?"
"Rong'er, I want to talk to you."
What should the Ninth Prince say to himself in the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room? She said calmly: "It's already late and the night dew is cold. My lord, please come back..."
There was no sound outside the window, and she felt relieved. She walked back to the bed and was about to get in bed when she heard a knock on the door.
"Rong'er..."
She lit a lamp, walked over in surprise, opened the door, and the Ninth Prince came in and sat down at the table.
"My lord, what's important?"
Under the light, the Ninth Prince saw that she looked thin, but even so, he could not hide her elegance, and her brows were even more beautiful.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart, stretched out his hand and held her hand: "Rong'er, how did you escape? Did Jin Wushu torture you?"
She inadvertently withdrew her hand: "Jin Wushu is arrogant by nature, but he never tortured me. That night, someone caused chaos in Jin Camp, so I took the opportunity to escape back. This time I came back to report to the prince, Jin Wushu The old wolf leader of the Jin Kingdom has been named the Grand Marshal of Saonan, and they want to support a puppet emperor in the Song Dynasty, and then seize the entire Song Dynasty. The puppet they want to support is named Zhang Bangchang... "
"Sure enough, it's him! This thief holds a high position, but he has repeatedly made peace. No wonder he is a lackey of the Jin Kingdom."
"There is also Qin Hui, the number one scholar, who is probably also Jin Wushu's spy."
"Qin Hui?" The Ninth Prince seemed not to be deeply impressed by him, "This man is not an important minister in the court, and he was also captured by the Jin army."
Now that he's been captured, there's nothing to worry about.
"Furthermore, I found out that the number of people left by the Jin Army around Kaifeng is probably about 80,000, not the 500,000 they boasted..."
The Ninth Prince was overjoyed: "Is this news accurate?"
"It's definitely true!"
"Okay, I will make arrangements immediately."
She chuckled: "Your Majesty, I came back just to report this matter to you. I will leave early tomorrow morning..."
He asked anxiously: "Rong'er, where are you going?"
"Going to seek refuge with a distant relative..."
"Rong'er, you also know that now is the time to employ people. You can't leave. Please stay and help me."
"Now that King Qin from all directions has gathered together, Hua Rong will not only be unable to help but will become a burden to the prince."
Before the Ninth Prince could answer, he only heard a muffled urgent report. It was none other than Xu Caizhi: "Your Majesty, there is military information coming..."
"Come in."
I saw a soldier running in with Xu Caizhi, knelt down and said: "Report to the prince, Yue Pengju has won 13 consecutive games against the Jin army. In Bozhou, he encountered a Jin army and couldn't stop fighting..."
The Ninth Prince pondered for a while, and Xu Caizhi said hurriedly: "Bozhou is only more than 100 miles away. If it falls, the consequences will be disastrous... Your Majesty, for the sake of safety, it is better to retreat..."
Hua Ronghu said: "The prince must not retreat. At this time, we need to work together. Once the prince leaves, the morale of the army will collapse. Besides, Pengju is like a god in using troops. I believe he will be able to stop the Jin army..."
The Ninth Prince nodded and said loudly: "Yue Pengju has won 13 consecutive games. He has been awarded the title of Defense Envoy of Xiangzhou and General Wuwei. Everyone will be stationed in place to strengthen their vigilance and train their troops diligently. There will be no mistakes."
"yes."
Everyone followed the order and left. The Ninth Prince stood up. Suddenly he saw a flash of red clothes at the door. He shouted: "Who is it?"
Wu Jinnu, who was dressed in a wedding dress, walked in slowly, looking a little panicked: "My lord, please forgive me. I saw that the military situation was urgent and I did not dare to delay. I couldn't find my lord for a while, so..."
It turned out that on their wedding night, Concubine Wu was impatient when she saw that her husband had not entered the "bridal chamber" for a long time. However, she heard from the guards that there was an urgent military situation, and she searched for the Ninth Prince but could not find him. Xu Caizhi heard the news and rushed over, knowing that the Ninth Prince must be there. At Huarong's place, Concubine Wu immediately followed him.
As she answered, she looked at Hua Rong, feeling surprised and sad that her husband was actually in another woman's room on their wedding night.
Hua Rong opened the door for the Ninth Prince. Although she was fully dressed, she was alone in the middle of the night. Under the gaze of Concubine Wu, she was speechless and felt very embarrassed.
The Ninth Prince looked at Concubine Wu majestically: "That's fine, you go back and rest first."
"yes."
Concubine Wu responded, looked at Hua Rong again, with tears in her eyes, stepped on the three-inch golden lotus, and slowly turned around and went out.
The Ninth Prince wanted to summon the generals overnight to discuss the war ahead. He was upset, shook his head, and went out.
Hua Rong hurriedly closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he remembered the inhumane treatment his two concubines suffered in the Jin Army camp. He didn't ask, so she wouldn't mention it. Otherwise, it would be more serious for him. of blow.
Who says that marrying into an emperor's family must be a good thing
Looking at the time, before dawn, I remembered that I had informed the prince last night that he was going to "go to his distant relatives", so it was not like leaving without saying goodbye. I freshened up a little, and when I went out, I saw that the lights in Prince Ninth's palace were on all night, so I didn't bother him, but Seeing Xu Caizhi outside, she told him that if Xu Caizhi wanted to keep her, how could he keep her? Hua Rong went straight to lead the horse.
Berlin city.
At dusk, Yue Pengju hurried back to the military camp. As soon as he sat down to drink a cup of tea, he heard Zhang Xian coming back.
He was overjoyed: "Zhang Xian, is there any news?"
Zhang Xian was a little uneasy and shook his head: "Pengju, your sister is not in Yingtian."
"Where did she go? What happened?"
Yue Pengju's complexion changed, and his uneasiness became even worse.
"I heard that she once returned to Yingtian, but then left without knowing her whereabouts?"
"How is this going?"
Zhang Xian sighed: "I heard news that she seemed to be captured by the Jin Army, escaped, returned to Yingtian, and then left. There has been no news since then..."
Yue Peng stood up in a hurry: "No, I have to go find my sister."
"You have orders, how can you leave? Pengju, you can't leave."
"Something must have happened to my sister."
"I'll go look for you. I was just worried that you would be worried, so I rushed back to tell you. Since your sister has returned to Yingtian, there shouldn't be much danger. I wonder if she is here to find you?"
It would be best for her sister to come to her. But if not, what should she do alone in this chaotic situation
"I will set off tomorrow morning to find her again."
"No, we can't wait any longer. After this battle, I will go find her myself."
Approaching the city of Berlin.
Along the way, many villagers came and went carrying various grains and vegetables on their backs. As they walked, everyone talked:
"Master Yue has won again..."
"I heard that Mr. Yue defeated the Jin Army in 14 consecutive games. It was really a blessing for the Song Dynasty..."
"Yes, and more importantly, Master Yue's army never harasses the people and has strict discipline. This is a blessing to the country..."
"With such an army, we will definitely be able to defeat the Jin Army..."
“…”
The woman riding on "Kinsese" heard such comments along the way, and she couldn't help but laugh, feeling warm in her heart.
It was dusk at this time, and all the villagers who delivered food and grass had returned. The patrolling guard saw a woman riding a horse, her face was covered with wind and frost, and her hair was messy. She said loudly: "Who are you looking for?"
"I would like to ask you two military masters to inform your general Yue Pengju that his sister wants to see you..."
The guards saw that she had a strong figure and an elegant appearance. Even though her clothes were shabby, she did not look shabby at all. She was General Yue's sister, so they did not dare to underestimate her and immediately went in to report her.
Hua Rong had just asked another guard for a bowl of water when she heard a rush of footsteps. A man ran out and hugged her: "Sister, sister..."
She lay in his arms for a long time before she raised her head and took a closer look at him. She saw that he was wearing chain-linked golden armor and a red bronze helmet with a red enchantment on his head. He was so majestic and handsome that she had never seen him before. No one could match his grace. She couldn't help but smile: "Pengju, I heard along the way that you have fought 14 games in a row from the first month to now, and you have won every battle. I am so happy, haha..."
