Slave to Empress: One Night Bride - C504 Putting on a show
Jin Wushu pounded his chest and stomped his feet. He really did not know where such a terrifying opponent came from.
And King Qin, had also fallen into an extreme state of shock. He had initially wanted to catch up and ask them, but it was then that he realized that the group of people had already retreated northwards, disappearing into the vast desert like a gust of wind. They truly came without a trace, and even more so, they did not come in large numbers.
His heart still had some lingering fear, but An Zhigang said excitedly, “It’s all thanks to these people who saved us, it must be General Helian’s party …”
The Grand General Helian led the western summer remnants of the Great Desert, but, the King Qin had fought with them before. Although the military might was similar to that of Helian’s, with this kind of momentum and strategy, although the King Qin didn’t know much about the Grand General Helian, he believed that it was definitely not something that the Grand General Helian could possess. There was no other reason. Grand General Helian had once lost to him, and that mysterious person, King Qin thought to himself, if I were to fight against him, I simply do not have the confidence to win. Moreover, if it was a Grand General Helian, it would be impossible for him to leave without saying goodbye.
Who is he?
The sun had risen, and the late autumn weather was heavy with a tinge of chill.
King Qin looked around, out of the few thousand that he had temporarily formed, only one or two thousand were left. Looking around, the valley was filled with corpses of barbarians and Golden Man s. The most surprising thing was that not a single person in the group of mysterious Hook had lost their life, and they couldn’t even find anything. Using the smallest amount of casualties in exchange for the greatest victory, he was once again intimidated. Sweat began to drip down from his palms. How could he have a good life after meeting such an opponent?
Could it be that Ye Lvdayong was playing tricks on him? But, Ye Lvdayong was more than scheming, his talent was not enough, how could he have such a spirit? Furthermore, fighting had never been his forte, which was why he relied so heavily on Ye Lvlongxu, Liu Wu and the other generals. King Qin was at a loss of what to do, all the people in the entourage were speechless. They were the same as An Zhigang, and all of them thought that it was General Helian who had helped them.
The old cunning fox, Ye Lvdayong, clearly knew that he was being targeted by Jin Wushu, yet he wanted to become cannon fodder. It was clear that he had preserved his own direct line of descent, and only hoped that the wandering soldiers outside could become cannon fodder, afraid that he would gain control of his military.
Everyone retreated, because there were many injured people in the team, they took shortcuts, went past the grasslands, and most of them were mountain roads, which were extremely rugged and could not be rushed, and walked for about 10 days before finally returning to savage tribe.
The barbarians came out to welcome them. When they saw that more than half of the men had died, they began to cry bitterly. King Qin sat in the middle of a chair carved from tree stumps. Two guards held water for him to wash. His mind was in a mess. After settling the remaining people down, he went outside alone.
Dusk was falling, and the blue sky in the distance was a deep red. It was a very sad and beautiful color. He looked around, and only felt that he was alone, he could not help but think of Hua Rong. Now that he thought about it, he really couldn’t hold it in anymore. Why had he come thousands of miles to this damned place? To fight with her? The hateful girl, she actually didn’t come looking for him even if he didn’t look for her. Could it be that she couldn’t even ask him about the whereabouts of the Little Tiger’s head or ask him for information about it? Just like that?
Hua Rong kept leaving without saying a word. He had originally been holding in his anger, wanting to teach her a lesson, but, even though she had been holding in his anger until it hurt, the other side did not show any signs of compromise. He mumbled to herself, and started cursing: “Little girl, people turn into savages, and hearts turn into savages, not only do you not want me, it seems that you will not even want the head of the Little Tiger …”
At this moment, he almost went mad with regret. If he had known earlier, he would have taken her back the first time he saw her. After wasting so much time, waiting for her to change her mind was simply a pipe dream.
The sun had already set, and the autumn night was cold. Behind them, the barbarians had set up huge bonfires, sending off the souls of the dead, singing and dancing, and conducting a sad sacrificial ceremony.
The mournful singing started, and King Qin could no longer stay there. Quietly, he mounted his horse and rode towards the Da She Tribe.
The morning watering river, bathed in a cage of smoke, ethereal and lonely. King Qin hid the horse well and came out alone to look at the mysterious forest. There were countless poisonous snakes, mosquitoes, and mysterious poisons. Hua Rong was right inside, with a group of savages.
When he thought of the “female savage” he saw that day, his blood started to boil and he couldn’t wait to appear in front of her and not be angry with her anymore. No matter what she wanted to do, he would obey her. He laughed, “Little girl, no matter how big of a reason you have, I won’t let you go this time.”
The agreed secret signal sounded one after another, and a group of Da She Tribe guards ran over. They saw the contract stone he took out, and muttered a question as to who he was looking for. When King Qin finally explained his intentions, the leader of the group had a troubled look on his face. King Qin was unable to communicate with it. Right at that moment, a group of children ran over, chattering while carrying some wild animals.
He could see clearly that one of them had a pheasant stuck in his head, a sabre at his waist, and a half-grown boy with two spears in his hands. He looked familiar. The youth also saw him and stared intently into his eyes. King Qin had washed himself clean and wore a set of clothes at random. His face was no longer painted with oil and the youth also felt that he was familiar with one another as he walked straight towards him with the two spears in hand.
“Hahaha, Stinky kid, what’s your name?”
“Lu Wenlong, my name is Lu Wenlong, what about you?”
King Qin was overjoyed, and immediately reached out to hug him. Lu Wenlong was shocked, and dodged. He was grinning from ear to ear, “Stinky kid, have you grown up like this? “Where is your Arhat Little Punch?”
Lu Wenlong was overjoyed, “Scoundrel, you are the Scoundrel uncle who gifted me the little copper coin? That little bronze man has taught me a lot of fist techniques, I like it very much. ”
King Qin did not expect to see Lu Wenlong here, and was truly overjoyed. Not only did the little girl kill Wang Junhua, he also brought Lu Wenlong out. He asked hurriedly, “Where’s your mother?”
“Uncle, you’re looking for my mother?” She’s not here. ”
“Where is she?”
Lu Wenlong hesitated: “I’m not telling you.”
King Qin saw that he was a small fry, the young man looked to be extremely fast, he was already half grown, if he did not want to tell, he would not tell, so he retreated a few steps, looking like he would not tell no matter how you asked. King Qin was angry and amused at the same time. “Brat, quickly tell me, where is your mother?”
Lu Wenlong was extremely vigilant, he only shook his head.
Where did this girl go? So mysterious?
“Your Majesty, is that you?” A familiar voice came from behind. King Qin turned around and was overjoyed that it turned out to be a gathering of an old friend. The person who came was Zha He. Hua Rong urged him to take care of Lu Wenlong, so he was always by Lu Wenlong’s side. After leaving for a while, hearing the children’s conversation, she came over to take a look, but unexpectedly saw King Qin.
Zha He said a few words to the wild people around him, then patted Lu Wenlong’s shoulders and asked him to play with his little friends. The group dispersed, leaving only him and King Qin.
King Qin looked around and asked anxiously: “Where is Hua Rong?”
Zha He said in a low voice: “The little boys has returned to fetch the Little Tiger. She said that the Little Tiger was on your island. ”
King Qin was startled for a moment, then realized what he was doing and almost stomped his feet.
Why did this Little girl run all the way to the ocean?
“The little boys thanks you very much for taking care of her son, but she wanted to take care of him personally … “Great King …” The more Zha He spoke, the more he felt that something was amiss. He only saw that King Qin had a strange expression, both anxious and angry. He was taken aback. “Your Majesty, what are you doing?”
King Qin took a deep breath and stomped his feet. Little girl, that damnable girl, she didn’t even make a sound as she ran back to get her son. [If she really took away my son, wouldn’t it mean that he would cut him into two forever and never see him again?]
He fell down onto the ground, completely not in the mood to listen to what Zha He had to say. He was both angry and sad, and just because he said that his son was under Li Tinglan’s care in a bad mood, she ran away without a care.
Little girl, you don’t believe me at all.
Perhaps, she had never trusted him. Other than Yue Pengju, she would not trust anyone else.
As if he had been struck by a rod, he felt dizzy for a long while. Finally, King Qin stood up: “Zha He, when did she leave?”
“It has already been a month. I estimate that they are already on their way back.”
“How many people did she bring?”
“She was alone. The The little boys’s Black Moonlight is fast and travels a thousand miles in a day. Our horses can’t catch up to her, so she doesn’t need to follow us. ”
King Qin just let out a sigh of relief before it was pushed into his throat again. The chaotic world was very different. A woman riding a single horse for a thousand miles, who knew what dangers she would face? Besides, he wasn’t in a position to advance, nor was he in a position to retreat. He wanted to go back and find her, but he was afraid that he would miss her along the way.
Zha He sensed that something was wrong and asked, “Great King, is the Little Tiger head not on the island?”
King Qin shook her head: “If she comes back, you have to tell her to wait for me, she’s not allowed to go anywhere, I’ll bring my son back to her.”
Zha He was shocked, he mumbled not knowing what to say.
The King Qin turned around and was about to leave dejectedly. After walking a distance, he suddenly heard the sounds of children playing in front of him. Amongst them, there was Lu Wenlong with two spears, as if he was teaching his children how to use the spear. A trace of warmth floated in his heart. It seemed that the little girl was going to take this place as his home? He brought all his sons here and now the whole family became savages?
The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. With a move of his heart, he shouted loudly, “Stinky kid, come over here quickly.”
Lu Wenlong withdrew his spear and ran over. Because he saw Zha He being so respectful to the King Qin, his vigilance had dispersed by half. He stood in front of the King Qin and raised his head to look at him: “Uncle, why are you looking for my mother?”
King Qin blinked his eyes and reached his hands into his arms, wanting to find some sort of toy to coax him. This was a habit he had gotten used to when he was the “nanny” at the head of the Little Tiger. His hands were empty, but he realized that there was nothing on him. He smiled bitterly: “Stinky kid, your mother has been gone for so long, do you not miss her?”
Lu Wenlong then said: “My mother went to fetch my brother. I have never seen my Little Tiger head before. Uncle, have you seen him? Is he obedient? ”
King Qin couldn’t help but rub his neck, as if there were still more crabs crawling around. He laughed out loud, “Your brother is also a troublemaker, he’s even more troublesome than you. When your mother comes back, I will take you all to the Little Tiger, so we can reunite as a family. ” The more he looked, the more he liked it, “Haha, doesn’t this daddy already have two sons?”
Lu Wenlong was baffled: “Who is your son?”
“You and the Little Tiger are both my sons.”
“Nope.”
“Hua Rong’s son is my son. Kid, you dare not acknowledge this father?” He suddenly thought of something and mumbled to herself.
