Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1035 Xiazhou—Lost!
Shang Ruyi's face suddenly darkened.

Maybe Ashina Zhuxie didn't understand the habits of those poisonous snakes, nor did he know the pharmacology, but he was not stupid. He knew that the stick he used to scare the snakes would be climbed up and bit him. In addition, he saw that he appeared in the tomb passage at a brisk pace. He could tell that something was wrong and knew that he was trying to trick him.

At this moment, Wo Xue came to look for Shang Ruyi. Upon hearing this, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Princess!"

Her voice was loud and full of vigilance, which immediately alarmed the patrolling guards in the camp. Li Miao and Gao Chen, in particular, rushed over. When they saw the Western Turkic Khan staring at Shang Ruyi with a gloomy face, they felt something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Princess, what happened?"

As soon as there was any noise from their side, a group of people immediately came out from the Western Turkic camp, not to be outdone.

These people were tall and gathered around like a few walls. They looked fierce and brutal. They walked behind Ashina Zhuye and said, "Khan, what do you want?"

For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.

Seeing this, Lei Yu's brows knitted together. She quickly reached out and grabbed Ashina Zhuxie's sleeve, and whispered, "Khan..."

Ashina Zhuxie looked back at her, but his eyes were flickering.

If it were in the past, even when they had just met this time, as long as he showed signs of wanting to make a move on Shang Ruyi, Lei Yu would immediately stand in front of Shang Ruyi and almost oppose him; but now, although she was also trying to stop him, she did not immediately stand on Shang Ruyi's side, but just held him back.

Ashina Zhuxie felt his heart beat violently.

But there was no emotion on his face. He just gritted his teeth, pursed the corners of his lips, and said in a deep voice: "You know, she wants to kill me!"

"...!"

Lei Yu's pupils shook violently, as if they were about to shatter.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out in the night.

This urgent sound not only broke the tranquility of the night, but also broke the tense atmosphere. Everyone looked up vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from. At this time, in such a desolate wilderness, no one should come. If anyone came, they would probably come after one of them.

But what will happen at this time? Who will come?

Just when everyone was confused and nervous, and Shang Ruyi's eyes were getting darker and darker, as if they were about to merge into the night, they saw a group of people breaking through the darkness and rushing into the Western Turkic camp. Several soldiers immediately came to meet them, and after hearing them say a few words, they immediately led the people over.

"Khan!"

The man let out a shrill cry, staggered over, and knelt in front of Ashina Zhuye: "Khan, something happened!"

Ashina Zhuye looked down and saw a soldier wearing leather armor, which was different from the surrounding Turkic soldiers. His face was covered in blood and mud, and he was panting. It was obvious that he had traveled a long distance and braved the wind and rain to get here. With red eyes, he said to Ashina Zhuye: "Khan, something happened!"

problem occurs? !

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath. Ashina Zhuxie's face darkened: "What happened?"

"Khan, Xiazhou is lost!"

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Ashina Zhuxie's eyes suddenly widened, and he stepped forward and grabbed the soldier: "What did you say!"

Lei Yu beside him was struck by lightning and said in disbelief: "How is it possible? Isn't Xiazhou already at the end of its strength? And with several times the number of troops sent there, can it be taken at any time? How could it be--"

At this point, her voice suddenly paused, as if she had thought of something, and she looked back, while Ashina Zhuxie was still asking, "How could it be lost? When did it happen?" "Just the day before yesterday."

"The day before yesterday? What happened?"

"The day before yesterday..." The soldier took a breath and said intermittently, "We were about to capture Xiazhou, but just as the sun was about to set, suddenly, a group of heavily armored cavalry arrived."

"Heavy armored cavalry?"

Hearing these four words, Ashina Zhuxie's face darkened again.

He thought for a while, then asked: "And then?"

The soldier's face was not looking good either. Just by looking at his disheveled appearance, one could guess how difficult it was for him to escape. With a hint of fear in his anger, he said, "This team is well-trained, well-organized, and carries wolf-head banners. When everyone saw them, they thought they were soldiers from the Khan's headquarters, sent to help in the battle, so we were not prepared."

"..."

"I didn't expect this group of people to suddenly attack us!"

"...!"

This caused the surrounding soldiers to let out low cries of astonishment. They were all furious and puzzled, and they all asked angrily: "Who dares to impersonate the Khan's troops?"

“We must catch them!”

"Catch them and cut them into pieces!"

Just when everyone was filled with indignation, Ashina Zhuxie calmed down and asked, "And then?"

The soldier said, "We were caught off guard and were thrown into disarray. Then, the troops from Xiazhou City suddenly rushed out and attacked us from both inside and outside, completely defeating us."

"..."

"Xiazhou, just like that, was lost..."

The last few words were so low that they were almost inaudible. The faces of the surrounding Turkic soldiers showed expressions of regret and hatred. They sighed and wished they could rush to Xiazhou for another battle.

Ashina Zhuxie was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Where did the heavy armored cavalry come from?"

Upon hearing this, the people around were shocked.

Yeah, where did the heavy armored cavalry come from?

You know, although the entire Eastern and Western Turks are good at cavalry combat, they only have the invincible heavy cavalry under Ashina Zhuye, which was inherited from his mother's Zhuye tribe. How come a heavy cavalry suddenly appeared out of nowhere?

Could it be the Eastern Turks?
No! If the Eastern Turks had such a strong force, they should have sent them out long ago, and there would be no need to wait until the war in Xiazhou reached this point.

So where did this group of people come from?
Could it be——

There seemed to be some confused thoughts in Ashina Zhuxie's mind. Just when he turned around, he inadvertently saw Lei Yu's flashing eyes. He was just withdrawing his gaze from Shang Ruyi, and there seemed to be some unspeakable entanglement in his eyes. He suddenly seemed to understand something.

"you--!"
