Chapter 280 Tomorrow's Wedding
Shen Ning subconsciously retreated to the coast, where several small boats were docked. But she knew that even if she got on a boat, it would be useless. On the silent sea, any movement of the boat would be discovered immediately.
There was a Japanese pirate ship not far away, and she had no way of escaping in such a small boat.
Just as Shen Ning was about to turn back in the dark to find a place to hide, she heard the sound of water behind her. She suddenly pulled out her hairpin and turned around, only to hear a low voice calling, "Princess."
Only then did she recognize that it was the Water Gang leader Nu Jiaolong.
"This place has been surrounded by Japanese pirates and there is no way to escape. If you trust me, please follow me." Nu Jiaolong's voice was low and urgent.
Chen Ning hesitated for only a moment before following Nu Jiaolong into the water... Nu Jiaolong took her and swam out for a while in the icy sea water, and unexpectedly arrived at the side of the Japanese pirate ship.
Without waiting for Shen Ning to speak, she explained: "Princess, our water gang was surrounded by Japanese pirates, and they captured us to work... I just overheard the Japanese pirates say that they wanted to cooperate with others inside and outside, so I sneaked down, and I didn't expect to meet you by chance."
A thin, dark woman was standing on the wooden ladder on the side of the boat, looking out. When she saw Nu Jiaolong and Shen Ning, she waved anxiously, "Hurry, someone's coming soon."
Nu Jiaolong quickly pushed Chen Ning up and followed her onto the boat. The woman behind him quickly put away the wooden ladder, and Nu Jiaolong crouched down and brought Chen Ning into the cramped cabin below.
"Some of our people were imprisoned, including my son. The Japanese pirates enslaved us..."
Nu Jiaolong took out a set of tattered clothes and gave it to Shen Ning: "We are surrounded outside now, and it is dark under the lamp here. Princess, please bear with it for a while. When I find a chance, I will try to rescue you and leave."
Shen Ning took the clothes and put them on quickly, took off the hairpin jewelry and stuffed it into the gap between the wooden boards, quickly tied up her hair, and did not forget to smear some dust on her face, becoming dusty in an instant.
Almost the next moment, the sound of Japanese pirates shouting was heard outside. Nu Jiaolong quickly signaled Chen Ning to go with her to the kitchen next door to bring out the wine and food and walk outside...
On the deck of the pirate ship, Chen Nian looked at the Second Prince who was being restrained by the pirates, his face gloomy: "Is he the only one?"
A woman with strange and seductive makeup stood at the bow of the boat: "Yes, why would I lie to you? I haven't seen the woman you mentioned, only the Second Prince."
Chen Nian drew his sword: "We must kill him!"
This female Japanese pirate was the famous Japanese queen, Queen Zhen.
At this moment, seeing Chen Nian about to kill someone, the small portrait of King Zhen chuckled from its pouting red lips: "No, no, you don't have to kill him. I will take him back to my place... I will use him to give birth to a child with the blood of the noble Daxuan royal family. When that happens, I will be the most noble king."
Chen Nian's mouth twitched slightly.
Prince Zhen curled his lips and chuckled: "Anyway, he can't go back once he falls into my hands. What are you afraid of? How dare you kill the prince with such a cowardice?"
Chen Nian's face turned pale and he said nothing.
"Instead of worrying about this prince I took back to the Sea Kingdom, who will never return, you might as well quickly go find the King of the North Sea. I've heard that she's the beloved daughter of your Great Xuan God of War... Chen Nian, if she's not dead, then you'll be left without a burial place."
The Yuan army was already approaching, leaving no time for hesitation. Chen Nian gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Kill him once you've borrowed the seed and put an end to this trouble forever. Otherwise, I will never forgive you."
King Zhen chuckled: "You don't have to tell me that..."
The next moment, Chen Nian and his men turned their horses around and said in a deep voice, "Go back and search all the way! We must find the King of the North Sea..."
"yes!"
Chen Nian led his men back quickly, searching along the way while having to speed up their journey... They had to return to Beihai Prefecture before the Yuan army.
Otherwise, they would be blocked outside the pass by the Yuan army.
At this moment, Chen Nian actually felt a little regretful... Should he really listen to the Queen on such a big matter?
But he had no other choice. He was the Queen's man, the man of the Eastern Palace. What could he do if he didn't listen to the Queen?
Since he chose to be a slave, he must fulfill his duties as a slave. A slave who betrays his master will not have a good end.
But the only variable was that he never expected that the guards around Princess Yong'an, no, the King of Beihai and the Second Prince would be so powerful.
There were no more than fifty of them in total, yet they managed to stop the thousands of elite soldiers he had selected from the army...
They actually escaped from such an unexpected attack by heavy troops.
Chen Nian couldn't imagine what would happen to him if the King of Beihai or the Second Prince escaped.
This kind of behavior is almost like rebellion...
At this time, the scout returned to the team and reported urgently: "General, the Yuan army is approaching, and the life and death of Zhang Duo, the garrison commander of Beihai Prefecture, is unknown. How should we respond?"
Chen Nian narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice, "Pass the order down. To ensure the safety of the city, order everyone to withdraw to Liaodong Pass."
Beihai Prefecture is not his Beihai Prefecture. There is no need for him to fight the Yuan army here. Moreover, as long as he leaves Beihai Prefecture to the Yuan army to be slaughtered... then no one can blame him for what happened tonight.
Look, the Yuan army is coming, and those "Yuan Dynasty spies" in the city deserved their death!
As for the King of Beihai and the Second Prince, they also died at the hands of the Yuan army... He had led the troops to defend the Liaodong Pass for many years, which was the top priority. The deaths of these two could not be blamed on him.
As for the King of Beihai, who was nowhere to be found, his life was extremely slim after he was stranded in Beihai Prefecture occupied by the Yuan army.
At that time, he would block the Liaodong Pass and then block the sea route... Even if the King of the North Sea was lucky enough to survive, even if he had monstrous powers, she would not be able to escape...
Chen Nian led the Liaodong army to abandon the city just before the arrival of the Yuan army, leaving Beihai Prefecture to the Yuan cavalry.
On the walls of Beihai Prefecture, those men who were supposed to be engaging in fierce battles with the Yuan army were killed by their own men, who stabbed them from behind with swords and knives. They watched with bated breath as the Yuan army charged into Beihai Prefecture...
Just as the Yuan army entered the Beihai Prefecture City, the Fu ship that King Zhen was riding on was already sailing slowly on the sea.
Chen Ning lowered her head and pretended to be a captured slave to serve food and wine, and saw the second prince Xiao Nanrong tied up in Prince Zhen's room.
"Your Highness, the Honorable Second Prince, do not be afraid. This prince will not harm you... Tomorrow, this prince will marry you. On our wedding night, with you here, this prince will be able to give birth to a child bearing the blood of the honorable Xuan Dynasty royal family..."
King Zhen laughed heartily: "By then, who would dare to say that my bloodline is lowly?"
Xiao Nanyong was tied there, unable to move at all, and could only be forced to lift his face up by King Zhen's pinching of his chin.
King Zhen is now thirty-seven years old and believes that he still has charm. He also wears the most fashionable and popular heavy makeup in the Sea Kingdom.
Pale face, long thin eyebrows, bright rouge... crimson lips...
As she smiled, she stretched out her hand and slowly slid it down from Xiao Nanyong's chest and landed somewhere.
"I know you can't speak, but that's okay... I'm very satisfied with you here, hahahaha..."
The veins on Xiao Nanyong's forehead were throbbing, his eyes were tightly closed and the corners of his lips were tense.
"Tsk, don't be shy. Just rest well tonight and wait for our wedding and wedding night tomorrow... Hahaha..."
