C114 Escape (1/2)

old man looked at the jade pendant under the firelight and nodded with difficulty.

Zhao Deji, Xu Caizhi and the Kanggong had already boarded the boat, Hua Rong could not bear to part with the one in a million year old ”Jin Si”, but the boat was unable to move the horse, she could not care about the pain anymore, she used her strength to ride the horse, ”Jin Si, escape by yourself.” Then she immediately rushed up to the boat.

Just as the boat reached the center of the river, gold soldier had already caught up to the shore. She raised her torch and shouted loudly, ”Zhao Deji, on that boat …”

”Chase, quickly chase, don't let him go …”

”Go find the boat.”

”…”

However, the Golden Army could only shout empty words in the end, there was only one boat here, and they did not know how to swim, so they could only watch as the boat left.

When Jin Wushu arrived, the small boat was already out of his sight. He looked around for a while and then stopped.

Suddenly, someone shouted, ”GenSys, it's GenSys.”

He whistled, and GenSys, who had heard the old master's order, came running down the beach. Jin Wushu pulled the reins and Hua Rong actually let go of her horse to follow Zhao Deji across the river.

He asked anxiously, ”What river is this?”

The Chinese general in his army, Han Chang replied, ”Reporting to the Fourth Prince, this river is the flow of an angry sea. Zhao Deji only has one boat, if you don't want to die in the fierce winds and rain at sea, you must get closer to the shore. ”

”Alright, immediately send troops to guard the various stops along the way. This time, won't be able to escape even if he has wings!”

”Yes.”

As the crowd dispersed, he stood alone by the river bank for a while, looking at the misty moon in the distance, he sighed: ”Hua Rong, you're risking your life to save such a shameless and cowardly unconscious monarch, is it worth it?”

Suddenly, he remembered that day in the life-and-death battle, she had shown him mercy. It was at that moment of hesitation that she had been able to hesitate even at such a dangerous moment — she was extremely excited again.

He slapped it heavily with his palm. ”You traitor, you actually followed her after seeing Hua Rong, can it be that she treats you better than this prince?”

It was unknown if the horse understood the human language, but there was another hiss. In the night, it sounded very sad.

The boat was moving faster and faster, and it was getting farther and farther away from the shore. Golden Army's curses and shouts could no longer be heard.

When they reached the heart of the river and saw that the torches were all gone, he asked, ”Everyone, where are you heading to?”

Hua Rong and Xu Caizhi looked at Zhao Deji. His face was at a loss and he obviously did not know where to go.

The line of this river stretched very long. If one went any further, they would be drawn into the boundless ocean, and along the way, they would be pursued relentlessly by the Golden Army.

Zhao Deji was currently at a loss to the extreme, and completely had no idea what to do.

”Where are you going?” the boatman asked again.

Under the vast night sky, Hua Rong looked at the two mountains that had retreated backwards in the middle of the river, then looked at Zhao Deji, and lowered his voice: ”Tell me, where are we going?”

”Rong Er! ”I don't know either!”

”Alright.”

Seeing that she had made a decision, Xu Caizhi heaved a sigh of relief. Zhao Deji still remained under the moonlight with his head under the pillow, as if he had fallen into a meditative state.

There was water on the boat. Hua Rong went to get a bowl, and brought it in front of him. He took a sip, and with a shake of her hand, half of the water was poured onto the side of the boat.

Hua Rong knew what he was feeling, and did not push him away. After a long while, he slowly raised his head and let go of her.

At this time, the sky had already brightened. He saw that the person tied to the Boat Family's body was actually the jade pendant that he had bestowed to Hua Rong to get married in, and his heart became even more sour. ”Rong Er, thank you …”

Hua Rong smiled slightly: ”Kanggong and Master Xu are still by your side. ”I'll go and see if there's anything I can get you a bowl of fresh fish soup …”

He nodded his head as he watched Hua Rong nimbly walk to the bow of the ship. At this time, his mind was in a mess, and he needed a stable person to stay by his side, but Hua Rong's expression did not change, he remained calm and suddenly remembered the first time he had seen her. The young lady who had fallen into the water was at the brink of death, as if she would never be able to live for long. However, he himself, on the contrary, had become extremely worried because his country had been ruined and his family had been wiped out.

The boat master was napping at the front of the boat when Hua Rong walked over and greeted him, ”Old man, can you get anything to eat on the boat?”

The boatsman opened his eyes and looked at the sky. ”Sure.”

He stood up and casually picked up the jade pendant that Hua Rong had given him. He couldn't see it clearly last night, but now he could see it clearly.

This shock was not to be trifled with. Walking into the cabin, he kneeled down with a thump, ”This commoner, Ji San, does not know that he is the Emperor. I beg the Emperor to atone for his sins.”

”Elder, please get up.”

”This is the emperor's item. This commoner doesn't dare covet it, and now return it to the emperor.”

Zhao Deji was currently alone, all that was left was this reward for Hua Rong, unable to be saved, the man sighed, he looked at Hua Rong and smiled: ”Old man, Shangguan Family was saved by you, there is nothing to repay you, please accept it.”
