Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1007 Khan is in a good mood

When he saw that charming face clearly, Lei Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The person who came to them riding a horse and holding a torch high was actually a stunningly beautiful woman with a graceful figure.

On such a pitch-dark night, in such a deserted wilderness, with the night wind howling, and even from the deep valley in the distance a long wolf howl could be heard, the appearance of such a beauty on such a night was so strange and frightening.

Fortunately, this beauty Lei Yu was no stranger.

"You are--Lu Xiao?"

It was Ashina Zhuye who spoke. He first glanced at the person behind him, then shook the reins and rode his horse slowly forward, so that he could see the charming face of Lvxiao more clearly under the firelight. Facing Ashina Zhuye's wolf eyes and the fierce Turkic soldiers behind him, Lvxiao seemed very calm, but the charming look that accompanied her breathing in the past was much less now. She nodded slightly and said calmly, "Yes, I have met Zhuye Khan."

"What are you here for?"

"I heard that Zhuye Khan has come all the way here, so I came to greet you."

"Are you here for yourself, or for someone else?"

Lu Xiao chuckled and said, "The Khan is indeed very discerning. I am here to meet you on behalf of the Princess of Qin."

Ashina Zhuxie narrowed his eyes slightly: "She wants to see me?"

Lu Xiao glanced at him with a half-smile, then looked at the Turkic soldiers behind him who were staring at him eagerly. When her eyes swept over one person, she hesitated slightly, but immediately looked away and said calmly, "Khan, don't you want to meet her on this trip?"

After saying that, she smiled faintly, turned her horse around and walked back.

Having said that, there is no need to continue. Ashina Zhuxie originally did not intend to alarm Shang Ruyi. He wanted to see what she was doing near Tianding Mountain with her people, so he planned to stop and camp a few miles away from them to observe their movements. He did not expect that his movements had always been in the eyes of the other party.

In this case, there is no need to hide it anymore.

So he turned around to look at Lei Yu, then at Wang Shaoqiu. There was someone next to him holding a torch, and the flickering flame illuminated his face, which looked a little sick and paler than paper. However, his eyes were brighter than the flames, and they were staring straight ahead, as if he was chasing something.

Ashina Zhuxie said, "Let's go."

No one said anything else. Lei Yu nodded and rode his horse forward with them.

After a while, they saw a group of lights, or even more lights, appearing at the foot of the dark mountain. The Turks were not unfamiliar with that kind of light. It was as if someone had lit a bonfire in the dark night. Others raised torches and waved them towards them, obviously having been waiting for a long time.

A smile appeared on Lei Yu's face, and he said, "It's Ruyi!"

Having said that, she immediately spurred her horse forward at a trot. Seeing this, Ashina Zhuye had no choice but to take his men with her. They rode quickly in the night for a while, and finally saw the familiar figure illuminated by the fire.

"As one wishes!"

As soon as he saw the person in front of him, Lei Yu immediately dismounted, took a few quick steps, and held a pair of familiar, soft hands. "We finally meet again..."

The person who was also holding Lei Yu's hand, which was red, swollen and numb due to the reins, and so hot that it seemed to be burning, was Shang Ruyi.

Although she had expected this meeting, her heart still beat like thunder when she saw the blazing fire in the distance and heard the sound of approaching horse hooves. Especially when she saw this familiar and beautiful face and heard her earnest call, the bitterness in her heart surged up like a tide that she couldn't help but feel.

He choked up as soon as he opened his mouth, and his eyes were filled with tears.

But the next moment, she swallowed back the bitterness in her heart, and also swallowed back her tears and the words that she had not yet uttered, because Ashina Zhuxie and others who followed Lei Yu all got off their horses and walked towards this side. The originally quiet night breeze suddenly had a bit more intimidating atmosphere, and the people behind her immediately stood up and walked to her side, intending to protect her.

The two teams were very close to each other. Although the swords were not unsheathed, it seemed as if there were invisible swords confronting each other.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little stagnant.

It was Ashina Zhuxie who spoke first. He threw the reins in his hand to the soldier behind him, then walked forward step by step until he came to Lei Yu's side. He reached out and touched her shoulder with a little force, but his eyes were fixed on Shang Ruyi's eyes like a hawk staring at its prey on the ground, and said, "Princess Qin, we meet again."

Shang Ruyi slowly raised his head, and his eyes, almost as sharp as his, shone brightly in the night.

She said, "The Khan is in a good mood."

"Oh?"

Ashina Zhuxie raised his eyebrows and slightly increased the strength in his hands. Lei Yu finally slowly let go of Shang Ruyi's hand. The two hands were originally hot against each other, but now that they were separated, they both felt a little inexplicably cold. Ashina Zhuxie's words were more like a gust of cold wind blowing across Lei Yu's ears: "What do you mean?"

After Shang Ruyi withdrew his hands, he straightened his back slightly and said, "The war in Xiazhou is raging, and the Khan actually came to this place. If he is not in a good mood, I really don't know what he is doing."

At this point, Ashina Zhuye's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Don't you know what this Khan is doing?"

Shang Ruyi asked, “Should I know?”

Her words actually sounded like Zen, but the people standing behind them were not in that mood at all, especially the dozens of guards followed by Shang Ruyi. Although they knew that the journey would not be safe, they did not expect to meet the Khan of Western Turkic Khanate in this place. Although they had not taken action yet, they had already reached for the swords at their waists, as if they were just waiting for one wrong word to take action immediately.

The soldiers behind Ashina Zhuye were also equally alert.

Ashina Zhuye frowned. Compared to other rough and rude Turks, he was very meticulous, but he didn't like to argue with a woman, so he said coldly: "If you just want to take advantage of me verbally, I don't mind letting you do as you wish..."

The hidden meaning in the words is the price one has to pay to get what one wants.

Hearing his words, the Turkic soldiers behind him immediately showed ferocious faces, rubbing their hands, as if ready to pounce.

For a moment, the people behind Shang Ruyi became more nervous, and even Woxue took a step forward, as if he was ready to block Shang Ruyi at any time.

At this moment, Lei Yu looked back at Ashina Zhuxie and said softly, "If the purpose of your trip is to deal with her, I can't let you do as you wish."
