Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1033 How do I go back...?
There was a slight tremor in Lei Yu's eyes.

This tremor seemed to disturb a pool of spring water, and soon, Lei Yu's eyes were really confused. She frowned and subconsciously took a step back, as if she was trying to recall whether she had said this - but this sentence was only said a few days ago, so there was no need to doubt it.

The words are still in my ears.

Just when she felt her heartbeat gradually becoming a little disordered, Shang Ruyi's deep voice sounded in her ears again: "Some things, once they happen, they happen."

"..."

"Whether we like it or not, what happened will have consequences."

"..."

“Once you start on some roads, you can’t turn back.”

These words were nothing but the most obvious truth that everyone in the world understood. However, when Lei Yu heard them, they were like a bolt from the blue. Her entire soul was almost shattered. Her eyes also broke into pieces at this moment, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak when she looked at Shang Ruyi.

In fact, how could she not know?

Ever since she and her father joined Liang Shide and betrayed the court, they had embarked on opposite paths; afterwards, Liang Shide dominated the Eastern Capital, and Yuwen Yuan proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an. Even though they still regarded each other as friends, from a standpoint, they could no longer be friends.

However, when Shang Ruyi was kidnapped to the Turks, and she, as the princess of the little prince, went to protect him, they were facing a greater enemy, the Turkic Khan Ashina Shali, so naturally they did not need to consider their positions, and thus she never thought that their positions had already been opposed.

And this time, his attitude towards Xia Zhou revealed the relationship between the two.

If we continue, this relationship will only become clearer.

They are the enemy...

Especially now, Yuwen Yuan is leading his troops to attack Dongdu. If Wang Shaoqiu is still alive, and if he really persuaded Ashina Zhuye to send troops to assist Liang Shide, then the two of them will inevitably fight a life-and-death battle.

Even Wang Shaoqiu didn't need him to persuade Ashina Zhuye.

They are the enemy!
This fact was right in front of them, even more insurmountable than the fire ignited by Zuo Zhen, but Shang Ruyi took another step forward. She was shorter than Lei Yu, but when she looked at him at this time, there was a kind of caring look in her eyes that gently soothed Lei Yu's face and body, but that kind of tenderness made Lei Yu shudder and felt a chill in his heart.

Shang Ruyi said softly: "We will go down the mountain tomorrow. You still have one night to think about some things."

Lei Yu opened his mouth and a loud sound came out of his throat. After struggling for a while, he squeezed out a somewhat hollow sentence: "What's the matter?"

Shang Ruyi looked at her and said, "Go back."

"..."

"If you want to go back... Lei Yu, I can help you."

"..."

"I can really help you."

"..."

Lei Yu didn't say anything, but seeing her eyes flickering violently, Shang Ruyi thought she had something to say. However, no matter how her eyes flickered or how rapid her breath was, Lei Yu's lips slowly pursed into a line.

There was a brief but suffocating silence between the two people.

At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps from the other side. It was Wo Xue who came over carefully. Seeing that the two of them were speechless, she tentatively said softly, "Princess, it's time to change the medicine on your hand."

Shang Ruyi nodded: "Oh."

She looked at Lei Yu again, and said nothing more. She just nodded and walked past her in silence. Wo Xue immediately came forward to help her back to the wooden house. She kept listening to Shang Ruyi's footsteps disappearing behind her, but Lei Yu still stood there. The wind on the top of the mountain had an unbridled, bone-chilling chill that made her hands and feet cold in just a moment. She was like an ice sculpture that had lost its temperature. She lowered her head and whispered in a hoarse voice, "How can you help me? Do you know that my father is still in Luoyang?"

"..."

"You know my Kazu, he just learned to speak..."

"..."

"How do I get back...?"

The night wind was rustling, but no one answered her.

The night passed in silence.

Before dawn the next day, Woxue had already gotten up and started to boil water and cook. When she finished, the soldiers and guards outside the house also got up and started to get busy. Shang Ruyi and others finished their meal, tidied up a little, and prepared to go down the mountain.

However, when the time came to leave, no one left first.

After all, not only did they fail to achieve their goal of searching for treasure in the mountains this time, but they also nearly lost their lives after a near-death experience, and actually lost a life. More importantly, everyone in the room had one thought in their mind, and this thought was focused on Zuo Zhen, who had been sitting on the futon in the east room, beating the wooden fish and chanting scriptures -

What to do with him?
No one would be willing to leave behind the man who almost killed them. But killing him? This would only show their incompetence. Even Ashina Zhuxie did not attack him again after calming down his anger.

As time passed, Shang Ruyi finally stood up, walked behind Zuo Zhen, looked at the shrine he was worshipping, and said, "Will you continue to stay here in the future?"

Zuo Zhen did not turn around, and did not even stop beating the wooden fish: "Where do you think I should go?"

"..."

"If you want to come find me again in the future, don't worry. I will stay here and won't go anywhere. If you want revenge, just come."

"..."

"But if you are looking for me to get some treasure, then give up this idea as soon as possible."

"..."

Shang Ruyi quieted down.

Without Zuo Gongyi's tomb, they really had no reason to cross mountains and rivers to look for this person. Just as he had told him before, he was no longer anyone's enemy, nor was he their friend. To them, the Zuo family and Zuo Zhen had no meaning anymore.

Shang Ruyi sighed deeply and said, "Well, goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

As soon as she went out, Wo Xue naturally followed. The two of them led the guards who had already assembled and walked down the mountain along the same route they came.

And Ashina Zhuxie also stood up and walked behind Zuo Zhen, looking at his thin figure, and said coldly: "I should have killed you."

Lei Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and just as he was about to say something, Ashina Zhuye continued, "But without the treasure in Zuo Gong Yi's Tomb, you would not be worth asking me to do anything."

After speaking, he walked away.

Just as everyone walked out of the wooden house and headed down the mountain, a slender figure slowly walked behind Zuo Zhen.

And the monotonous sound of the wooden fish finally stopped.

Lu Xiao looked at his back for a long time, but his back was so thin that it was out of shape, and it was no longer the same as she remembered. She whispered, "Are you Zuo Zhen or Zuo Heng?"
