C49 Give Up Exiting the City (1/2)
Hua Rong tightly held onto his hand, her palm turning cold. She had sworn many times that the day to meet the King Qin would be the day where both parties would die. However, she never thought that the first time she would meet a common enemy, which was a huge battle, which was to capture Jin Wushu. Now, she had to look at him from the opposite direction.
When King Qin saw that his wife, who was originally just inches away, had now ran away without even seeing her face, he became anxious, ”Little girl, little girl … ”Don't go …”
In the blink of an eye, the only horse was already gone. The other horses were all taken away by General Jin Wu, how could they catch up?
Without much time to think, he turned around and chased after the closest soldier, slashing at his back with his blade. He only hoped to steal a horse first so that he could catch up with Hua Rong.
Unexpectedly, with too much force, the soldier on the horse fell and so did the horse. When he went to catch up with the other horses, the soldiers had already surrounded him and started shouting curses …
Seeing that the situation was not good, the King Qin ran after killing a corner, and ran to the side of the forest, meeting Li Xing and the others who were helping him. Seeing their horses, he did not bother to scold them when they came, instead he jumped onto them and chased after Hua Rong.
After sprinting for about seven to eight kilometers, Yue Pengju suddenly dismounted and jumped up with Hua Rong in his arms. After whipping his horse hard, the horse increased its speed and started galloping.
Sure enough, after a while, the King Qin led his men and caught up.
Only after the Horseshoe left far away did Hua Rong finally heave a sigh of relief. When she raised her head, she discovered that she was leaning into Yue Pengju's embrace, and her entire body was drenched in sweat.
She stood straight up in embarrassment and said in a low voice, ”Pengju, thank you.”
”Sis …” Yue Pengju didn't know what to say. He just laughed and took off his clothes to put on her clothes. ”Be careful, you don't catch a cold.”
However, Yue Pengju was different from the others. There was an extra clean and fresh taste to his heart, which made her feel warm, and she said gently, ”Let's go to the temple first.”
”Alright.”
After a fierce battle the whole night and being frightened by King Qin, she walked a few steps and felt his legs go soft, making her feel dizzy.
Yue Pengju took a step forward and held her hand: ”Elder sister, what's wrong?”
She almost choked with sobs. ”Today is a scary day …”
Yue Pengju smiled, ”Elder sister, don't be afraid. If King Qin comes up again, tell him clearly, I will definitely not let him hurt you again. ”
”It's impossible to reason with someone like him …”
Thinking about it, the King Qin had been constantly searching for him for so many years, and now, after going through so much, finding him, knowing his whereabouts, how could he just give up like that?
Yue Pengju had personally witnessed the King Qin torturing her and knew that she had treated that part of her past as a nightmare. He used even more force to grab her hand. If King Qin continues to pester me, I'll kick him out. ”
When Hua Rong heard his resolute tone, even though she was feeling sad, she couldn't help but start to laugh. She grabbed onto that pair of large, powerful hands and said, ”Mn, Pengju, I'll follow you from now on, so I won't be afraid.”
Her words were said casually, but Yue Pengju's heart actually trembled, as if someone poured a cup of honey on his heart and poured it down to his feet. He suddenly reached out and carried her on his back before walking away, ”Elder sister, I'll carry you.”
Hua Rong laid softly on his body. The winter night wind blew by his ears, but she no longer felt cold. There was a faint feeling in her heart, something that she had never felt before in her life:
The man in front of him was no longer the delicate youth from before. How was he a hundred times stronger than himself? In this life, how happy would he be if he protected and took care of her?
”Elder sister, Spiritual Master Guo's' hexadecyl method 'is a complete charade by the warlocks of the martial arts world. The outcome is predictable. However, if they successfully lead the people to a defensive battle in open seal, the city might not be destroyed. ”We can only see if the current ruler dares to fight in the main battle …”
”I have seen that dog emperor before. He is extremely stupid and does not dare to fight against a master.” She took out the jade pendant that the Emperor bestowed upon his, ”I have this item, I only hope to bring the Wangfei Mother and Son to their destination, otherwise, on the day of the city's destruction, none of them will be able to escape …”
”Alright, let's go see Wangfei Mother and Son tomorrow first.”
Hua Rong was a little surprised: ”Sigh, I don't know if Wangfei Mother and Son can come out, or perhaps, will she bring him out …”
”Sister, didn't you make an appointment with her?”
Furthermore, most importantly, she has been in her room for a long time. She did not really believe that the Golden Man would immediately call her in, so I was afraid that if she hesitated, she would miss the chance tomorrow and would not be able to come out … ”
”We'll do our best.”
In fact, Hua Rong's worries were not excessive. The two of them returned to the temple that night. Xu Caizhi was overjoyed to see Yue Pengju adding a helper, the three of them discussed for a while, then went to the Eastern Flower Sect and bought the guards. They brought little prince to the agreed meeting place to meet up with the two of them, and immediately left the capital city. In the afternoon, Xu Caizhi went out. The brother and sister duo went back to their rooms to rest for a while, and when the sky brightened, they headed towards the city.
This time, the two of them meticulously dressed up. Yue Pengju played the part of a big bearded man, Hua Rong's face was also smeared with a layer of yellow wax.
The two of them arrived at a restaurant in the southern gate. The restaurant was neither too big nor too small, and it was inconspicuous amidst the bustling crowd. It was precisely the place that they had agreed to meet with Xu Caizhi.
