Chapter 67 Huo Zheng, Goodbye

"Don't come over here!"

Chunzhi took a step back and stood at the edge of the bow. His hand shook and the bamboo pole used to support the boat fell into the river.

The strong wind made the black-sailed boat rock.

Chunzhi's dress was blown into a mess and her black hair was also blown away.

Huo Zheng didn't expect Chunzhi to become so afraid of him, and he felt a slight pain in his heart.

"Okay... I won't come over. Be careful and stand still."

He stopped in front of the cabin, a few steps away from Chunzhi, but did not dare to move forward rashly, for fear of scaring Chunzhi and causing her to lose her balance and fall into the river.

Chunzhi watched as dozens of speedboats kept catching up and soon approached.

So many people...

If she was taken back by Huo Zheng, it would be impossible for her to leave again.

The baby in the belly will definitely not be able to stay.

Thinking this, Chunzhi took another half step back.

Now, she was almost standing on the edge of the boat, and the whole boat was swaying in the strong wind.

It's going to rain heavily soon.

The wind and waves on the river are getting stronger and stronger.

God always bullies people.

It didn't rain early or late, but it just happened to be windy when she was leaving Linshui Town.

Chunzhi is an excellent swimmer. If the weather is good, she will not be afraid to swim in any river.

Unfortunately, the weather changed today and a storm was about to come. If she went into the water at this time, her life or death would be in danger.

But she couldn't go back with Huo Zheng no matter what.

To take her child is to take her life.

Chunzhi looked back at the wind and waves.

"Chunzhi!" Huo Zheng shouted in a deep voice, "Come here... Don't retreat anymore..."

His voice was trembling.

The King of Chang'an, who could remain calm even when faced with a mountain collapse, had completely lost his usual calmness and composure.

"Huo Qi." Chunzhi stood at the forefront of the storm, looking at Huo Zheng, "I only saved you, not killed your entire family. Why did you force me to this point?"

Haruji wants to live a good life.

Over the years, she has been like a tenacious grass. No matter how tough the winter or the hot summer is, she will burst into life as soon as spring comes.

Whether she was let down by Lu Jingyun or left Huo Zheng, she could live well.

If Huo Zheng hadn't chased her, she could have left alone and lived far away, and she would have lived a good life.

She will give birth to the child and raise him well.

Whether I continue selling tofu or do some other small business, it won’t make the children suffer.

But Huo Zheng and his men came after him.

She had never regretted it as much as she did now.

If only Huo Zheng hadn’t been saved at that time.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world.

Huo Zheng said, "I'm not forcing you. I'm just worried that Huo Yu might attack you... Chunzhi, be good. The wind and waves are too strong. Don't stand on the edge of the boat..."

As he said this, he tried to get closer to Harue and pull her back.

"Don't move!" Chunzhi saw Huo Zheng's intention and stepped back a little.

She was unsteady on her feet and swayed a little.

Huo Zheng pressed down on the cabin with one hand and used his inner strength to stabilize the entire black-sailed boat. "Okay, okay, I won't move, and you don't move either."

The wind and waves hit the bow of the boat, soaking Chunzhi's dress.

She was very scared.

The river was vast and boundless, and with such strong winds and waves, she didn't know if she could handle it.

But those speedboats were all approaching the black-sailed boat where she was.

Once they surrounded the boat, she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

Chunzhi gritted her teeth and made a decision with determination.

She said, "Huo Zheng, goodbye."

Then, he turned around and jumped into the surging river.

"Haruji!"

Huo Zheng was shocked and rushed over, but only grabbed a piece of Chunzhi's sleeve.

With a "hiss", the sleeve was torn.

Chunzhi fell into the water, splashing water and quickly disappeared.

Huo Zheng jumped down without hesitation.

"Your Majesty!"

A group of secret guards came in a speedboat against the wind and watched the prince jump into the river with Chunzhi.

Jiang He was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. He immediately said, "If you can swim, come with me."

Jiang He said this and dived into the river.

Half of the secret guards followed suit and dived into the water.

At this moment, there were lightning and thunder in the sky.

The big raindrops fell down like this...

After two sticks of incense.

Huo Zheng was rescued by Jiang He and others and put on the boat. He was soaked and looked in a miserable state.

He asked hoarsely, "Where's Chunzhi?"

"Your Highness..." Jiang He replied with a stiff upper lip, "Miss Chunzhi, she hasn't found it yet."

"If you haven't found her yet, keep looking! She'll be fine. She'll definitely be fine."

Huo Zheng didn't know whether he was saying this to himself or to others.

The storm came and the waves rolled on the river.

The boat couldn't even move steadily, let alone the people who fell into the river.

Huo Zheng said that he would dive into the river again to save Chunzhi.

Jiang He quickly held the man down and knelt down, begging, "My Lord, you are a precious treasure. You must not take any more risks."

Jiang He said, and immediately ordered the secret guards, "Search again! Keep searching!"

The secret guards who could swim had ropes tied around their bodies and had the people on the boat pull them. Then they jumped into the water again one by one to search for Chunzhi's whereabouts.

Huo Zheng couldn't stay on the boat, so he stood up and went into the water again. Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Jiang He could only persuade the prince to tie a rope. If the situation was not right, at least he could be pulled onto the boat immediately.

Huo Zheng looked numb as he let Jiang He tie the rope around him and then went into the water again.

He searched again and again.

Almost every time, when he was on the verge of exhaustion, he was pulled back to the boat by the river.

Repeat this several times.

An hour passed——

Two hours passed—

Three hours passed—

The rain continues to pour down and the night is as dark as ink.

Huo Zheng and a group of secret guards searched the river for a whole night but could not find Chunzhi.

Two ships were capsized by the strong wind.

A secret guard whispered, "Your Highness, we've been searching for so long and still haven't found her. I'm afraid Miss Chunzhi is..."

Huo Zheng said hoarsely: "Shut up!"

The secret guard immediately stopped talking and dared not say anything more.

Huo Zheng was almost exhausted, but he didn't believe Chunzhi would die, so he went into the water again.

Jiang He didn't dare to let the prince go into the water again, and tried his best to stop them. "I will send someone to look for him, but the prince must not go there again. If anything happens to the prince here, all the things in Nanzhou will be in vain!"

Huo Zheng closed his eyes, tears falling and being washed away by the rain.

When he opened his eyes again, they were bloodshot. He struggled to get up, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Highness!" Jiang He was horrified and quickly reached out to support the staggering prince.

Huo Zheng forced himself to stand firm, raised his sleeve to wipe the blood from his lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Chunzhi lives in a water town and is very good at swimming. She won't get into trouble so easily. She must not want to see me... She's deliberately avoiding me..."

"Your Highness..." Jiang He wanted to persuade the prince to be more open-minded. The river was turbulent, and in such a severe storm, even the best swimmers would have difficulty surviving.

"Keep looking." Huo Zheng said hoarsely, "I want to see him alive or dead!"
