Chapter 163 – Capture a Beautiful Man

Chapter 163: Capture a Beautiful Man

 

However, Lu Yi on the side noticed something strange and cautiously asked, “Leader, what do you call Cui Xingzhou?”

 

Miantang looked at Lu Yi, who had always been reliable, frowned, and said, “Didn’t we Brothers of the Mountain of Yang always call that guy Thief Cui?”

 

At this moment, the brothers all recognized something amiss and looked at each other with some expressions.

 

But Miantang didn’t have time to talk more. The most important thing was to avoid Prince Huaiyang’s ship first.

 

So she repeatedly asked Lu Quan to row the boat away. Lu Yi said to Lu Quan, “Listen to the leader, go ashore first. Otherwise, if the Japanese reinforcements arrive soon, it will be bad.”

 

So the small boat quickly turned around and, amidst the diffuse mist, sailed away from the battleship in the North Sea. The big ship behind seemed to be shouting something, but unfortunately, it was shattered in the sound of the waves and couldn’t be heard clearly.

 

The distance to the shore was not too far, but it was also not too close. Enough for Miantang to tell them about her situation. Her head was hit and she could only recall the matter three years ago for a moment, but in recent years, it has been a bit hazy and vague.

 

Lu Zhong and Lu Quan were both dumbfounded and repeatedly confirmed that their leader was not teasing them.

 

Liu Miantang was actually very upset about losing memory. She always felt like she can’t remember something important. So she said straightforwardly, “Can you tell me how I’ve been these past few years?”

 

Lu Yi remained silent for a moment and said, “You… Got married and gave birth to a son.”

 

Miantang also guessed that she had given birth to a child earlier, and after a moment of silence, she asked, “Shouldn’t he be Ziyu?”

 

Lu Quan shook his head into a wave and said, “Of course not him. He has now regained his golden position as he wished, and has ascended to the Jinluan Palace to become the emperor! The beautiful women in the harem are around three thousand, why would you want him again?”

 

Miantang held her breath, thinking that there would be a dull pain coming from her chest. After all, the scene when she ran away from the Mountain of Yang seemed like yesterday, and at that time, she was heartbroken and unbearable.

 

But for some reason, it seems that the sadness has not been accumulated enough, and it cannot be piled up.

 

However, for some reason, she asked again, but those few people didn’t answer, as if there was something difficult to explain.

 

Miantang’s heart sank this time and she said to herself, ‘Did I marry someone with bad character and cannot be spoken of?’?

 

Thinking of this, her expression softened and she said to the three, “What can’t be said? As long as I didn’t fall into the hands of Thief Cui and lost my skills, even if I marry someone casually, it’s just a temporary solution. Don’t worry, just say it.”

 

At this moment, the three of them were even more dumbfounded and didn’t know how to explain to the leader how she fell into the hands of Thief Cui.

 

Lu Yi felt that he should slowly explain to the leader, so he hesitated and said, “You were saved and married a merchant named Cui Jiu.”

 

Miantang opened her eyes wide and shouted, “Did I marry that fat pig?”

 

If she remembers correctly, the groom appointed by her father back then was the ninth son of the Cui family. That chubby appearance… Miantang just thought about it and couldn’t bear it. She actually went around and married that person again, slept with him for three years, and gave birth to a son. It’s really disgusting!

 

Seeing that Lu Yi seemed to want to continue speaking, she waved her hand and said, “Stop talking now… Let me take it easy.”

 

Miantang patted her chest and managed to suppress the nauseating sensation, but at that moment, the previous battleship suddenly appeared by the riverbank.

 

Miantang had good eyesight and saw several people put down the speedboat, ready to disembark.

 

“Not good! The officers and soldiers have come to catch us, hurry up!” She said and ran towards the nearby bushes first.

 

Lu Quan couldn’t get into a state all along. Looking at the leader who was moving like a rabbit and running without a shadow, he cried and asked, “What should I do? Should we tell the leader the truth?”

 

Lu Zhong obediently prepared to follow Miantang and said, “If the leader doesn’t recognize you and finds out that you have been bribed by Prince Huaiyang, be careful that she won’t listen to the explanation and a sword will pierce through your heart.”

 

Lu Quan thought about the temper of the leader and thought there was really a possibility.

 

At this moment, the small boat behind them had reached the riverbank. They turned around and saw Prince Huaiyang with a black face chasing after them.

 

Thinking about the various actions taken by Prince Huaiyang after the disappearance of the leader, makes people tremble with fear.

 

This was really a wolf in front and a tiger in the back!

 

So they simply chased after the leader to avoid losing her and being maimed by the ruthless Thief Cui.

 

Speaking of Cui Xingzhou, it has been several days and nights since he was shocked to hear that Liu Miantang has disappeared.

 

Liu Miantang was kidnapped, and his entire self was eerie. Especially the imperial envoy from the court, who seemed to be cooperating with the Japanese, tightly entangled him and even let Miantang miss the opportunity to discuss with him.

 

In the beginning, enduring the difficulties caused by the imperial envoys, Cui Xingzhou just saved his words and talked slowly with them.

 

When it was confirmed that Liu Miantang had been robbed to the Kou island, Cui Xingzhou disarmed the personal soldiers brought by the imperial envoy and tied the two adults directly to the frame of punishment, forcing them to inquire about their connection with the Japanese people.

 

At first, the two adults retorted, thinking that Cui Xingzhou was just scaring them, after all, he couldn’t punish them as he wish. Even the emperor cannot be so shameful and refined.

 

But it was only when the eighteen types of torture tools were used that they realized that Prince Huaiyang was genuine.

 

Cui Xingzhou explained to them that the wild and miasma atmosphere in the North Sea was rampant. At that time, he would tell the court that the imperial envoys had collectively contracted the plague and died together. Because they were afraid of being infected and would be cremated on the spot. At that time, their bones will never be buried in their ancestral graves.

 

Now the two of them also saw that Prince Huaiyang was really crazy. Unable to endure any longer, they suddenly revealed that this was the order of the imperial uncle, Minister Shi. They also acted according to it. They don’t know what connection this matter has with the Japanese people.

 

The subordinates were trialing the imperial envoy here. Over there, Cui Xingzhou was furious and personally kicked open the door of Master Xie’s house and told Master Xie, who was still in shock, that his wife was in danger to save him, and he now needs a sea boat to attack the island to save people.

 

So Master Xie and his disciples need to quickly transform two usable ships, and of course, the slower they are, after more than half an hour, he will kill one disciple of Master Xie until all the masters and disciples are killed.

 

Master Xie’s aloofness could no longer stand up in front of the Mad Dog Prince. He skillfully drew blueprints and organized craftsmen to launch overnight raids, temporarily transforming two small warships and installing artillery and shields. Although it cannot be compared to the originally planned large ship, it was barely enough to save people on the island.

 

Just now, when encountering the Japanese cargo ship halfway, Cui Xingzhou’s subordinates captured two Japanese people who were preparing to fall into the water and escape. Upon inquiry, it was discovered that their general had already fled by boat.

 

And Takatsukasa came in person because he was chasing a beautiful woman from the Yan Dynasty, who had already jumped into the water and fled.

 

Cui Xingzhou instinctively guessed the incident of falling into the water, and someone saw that the three brothers who had set sail first seemed to have pulled out someone from the water, so they went ashore first.

 

Cui Xingzhou immediately divided the troops into two routes, allowing the warships to sail towards Kou Island, while he chased the ships of the loyal and righteous three brothers and landed first.

 

From afar, he saw the figure of Miantang, and his whole person was extremely excited.

 

In the past few days, it doesn’t matter what Miantang has experienced. As long as she was well, it was stronger than anything else!

 

But when that woman saw his ship, she ran even faster than a rabbit! In just a blink of an eye, there was no trace of her. What was the matter?

 

Cui Xingzhou’s heart sank, and his intuition was that Liu Miantang had encountered something unbearable on Kou Island. She couldn’t think of it for a moment and didn’t want to face him.

 

Thinking of this, he couldn’t even wait to stop the boat and land, so he jumped into the water and ran towards the forest on the shore.

 

Just as he was rushing into the dense forest, suddenly there was sword energy coming from his oblique stab. Cui Xingzhou dodged, but the sword hit him one after another.

 

That dense and murderous move was not like a joke, but rather a deadly move.

 

Previously, although Cui Xingzhou often fought against her beloved princess consort, such a desperate tactic had never happened.

 

“Dog thief! Give your life away!” Accompanied by Liu Miantang’s crisp shout, another sword attack stabbed at him.

 

This time, Cui Xingzhou simply grabbed her sword body with his hand wearing wire armor and gloves and pulled her into his arms. He looked angry and said, “You… Want to kill me?”

 

Miantang saw someone chasing after her, so she wanted to grab a hostage and inquire about the number of pursuers.

 

But she didn’t expect that the soldier who was chasing after her was so skilled that he grabbed the blade with his bare hands and dragged her over.

 

As she looked up, she finally saw his face… Gosh, there was such a handsome man in the world. Under his tall nose, the corners of his thin lips seemed to be naturally smiling, slightly upturned, but it diluted a bit due to the murderous and gloomy aura in his eyes.

 

The first thought that flashed in Liu Miantang’s heart was not how to break free, but rather, ‘I wonder if this kid has married yet… Although he looks good, he doesn’t look loyal and has a peach-blossom look on his face. Whoever becomes his wife will feel tired of his constant blossom.

 

Cui Xingzhou looked at Miantang in a daze, as if startled by something. However, he slightly relaxed his strength and was about to speak to her. She suddenly smiled at him.

 

Cui Xingzhou couldn’t help but curl up the corner of his mouth. In a daze, a pair of slender fingers firmly touched an acupoint on one side of his neck. He felt numb in half of his body and fell slightly to one side.

 

At this moment, Miantang had already taken the blade from his hand, stepped on his chest with one foot, and then pressed the tip of his sword against his throat, saying, “Be honest! Don’t move.”

 

Cui Xingzhou raised his eyes to look at her, as if still somewhat unconvinced, his thin lips pursed tightly. Miantang looked at his stubbornness and couldn’t help but pick up the scabbard with her other hand. She lightly patted his face and said, “You look quite handsome. To be honest, I won’t scratch your small face.”

 

That flowing appearance was like a mountain bandit who had robbed a beautiful lady.

 

Cui Xingzhou couldn’t hold back any longer and rushed straight at the three people hiding behind the tree, looking at them. “Lu Zhong, don’t you hurry and come out now?! What the hell is going on here!?”
