Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1037 Yes, my father...

This sight made Lei Yu's heart tremble, and he subconsciously felt something.

Then he heard the soldier say, "The fighting in Luoyang is intense. After Yuwen Ye took over Dagu and Huanyuan Pass, the soldiers in other pass towns became chaotic. Just a few days ago, the soldiers at Xiaopingjin Pass killed the commander and surrendered to Dasheng."

"...!"

These words were like a bolt of thunder, falling from the sky and striking Lei Yu right on the head.

She seemed to be completely empty, standing there blankly, silent for a moment.

However, the guards on Shang Ruyi's side were ecstatic to hear the news. Before setting out, they had already heard about the war in Luoyang by the King of Qin, in which he successfully captured several passes among the eight pass cities. His military exploits were outstanding. They did not expect that he did not even have to fight for the important Xiaopingjin Pass himself. Under his great prestige, the soldiers guarding the pass surrendered automatically.

Isn’t this God’s help to Dasheng?

Li Miao and Gao Chen looked at each other and even shouted excitedly, "Good!"

While one side was still filled with indignation and the other side was in high spirits, Shang Ruyi remained silent.

At this moment, she felt an indescribable uneasiness, as if a huge net suddenly fell from the sky, covering her whole body at once, and even breathing and heartbeat became a little difficult. She took a deep breath, but still felt that her chest was bound and could not be stretched out. She could only squeeze out a little sound from her throat and asked the soldier: "Who is the commander of Xiaopingjin Pass?"

"Yes, my father..."

A hoarse and low voice sounded, and Lei Yu slowly turned his head. There was no life on his pale face, and even all the light in his eyes had been lost. He glanced at Shang Ruyi with his dark pupils.

Just one glance and she felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave, and her limbs suddenly became cold.

Wo Xue, who was protecting Shang Ruyi, also gasped at this time.

The commander of Xiaopingjin Pass turned out to be Lei Yu's father, Lei Yi? !

Shang Ruyi clenched her fists tightly, but at this moment, looking at Lei Yu's dark eyes, she only felt that her whole body was empty. She could not feel her fingers at all, and even her own body could not feel anything. There was only an indescribable pain coming from all directions.

She took another deep breath, but she didn't know where the breath went.

She said: "Lei Yu..."

After calling out her name, Shang Ruyi's throat was blocked, although she had a lot to say - is all this fake? Could all this be fake? If Yuwen Ye knew that the commander of Xiaopingjin Pass was Lei Yi, he might not attack fiercely. He should have come up with a foolproof plan to outsmart him.

But just thinking about it, her heart completely sank.

Indeed, whether from the perspective of the war, or from their old acquaintance with the Lei father and daughter, or just from the fact that Liang Shide would most likely send reinforcements from Luoyang to help if Xiaopingjin Pass was attacked again after losing the previous passes such as Dagu and Huanyuan, it was unlikely that Yuwen Ye would use the previous method to attack Xiaopingjin Pass.

The most likely scenario was that he would use the fact that he and Lei Yi were old acquaintances and that the other three of the eight pass cities had already been captured to lure the commander of Xiaopingjin Pass into surrender.

But, Lei Yi, what will he do?
Under normal circumstances, he might have turned against them, after all, this was also a way for him to survive.

But now, Lei Yu was in Western Turkestan, and was seized by Ashina Zhuye after he killed Shali Khan and Yiasu. Liang Shide also sent Wang Shaoqiu to Western Turkestan for help. He didn't know that Wang Shaoqiu had died in Tianding Mountain. For the safety of his daughter, Lei Yi would not dare to act rashly. The only thing he could do for his daughter's safety was to hold on.

But his subordinates and other generals in Xiaopingjin Pass do not need to consider this. They only need to consider how to stand on the side and how to maintain their own positions. In this case, joining the invincible Yuwen Ye is their choice!

The only thing that hindered their choice was Lei Yi...

and so……

All of this is true!
Shang Ruyi's eyes were burned red by the heat that surged from her heart in an instant. She almost wanted to cry. She sobbed hard, and a struggling, hoarse voice came out of her throat. She wanted to say something else, but she could only say weakly: "Lei Yu..."

Lei Yu slowly turned his head.

There was no light in her eyes anymore. At this moment, she seemed as if she was about to be swallowed up by the darkness. Although the soldiers and guards around her were holding torches high, they could no longer light her way forward. Only Ashina Zhuye stepped forward and grabbed her arm tightly.

It was not until this moment that Lei Yu suddenly realized that she had been shaking and almost falling.

Ashina Zhuye grabbed her and supported her.

Perhaps because he was in a hurry, he did not control the strength. Lei Yu only felt the pain in her arm, but this pain was like a very thin thread that pulled her back from the boundless abyss.

When Lei Yu looked up, he saw the wounds on his neck and jaw, which looked more like burns. Tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.

"me--"

She wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a single word. Silent crying filled the silence of the moment.

Ashina Zhuxie pulled her into his arms. When he looked up at Shang Ruyi, there was no trace of mercy in his cold wolf eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Kill them for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Turkic soldiers behind him, who had long been unable to suppress their anger, immediately rushed forward, the steel knives in their hands gleaming brightly in the night sky, and slashed at Shang Ruyi and others.

"Princess, be careful!"

Wo Xue cried out and immediately pulled Shang Ruyi behind him, while Li Miao, Gao Chen and others reacted quickly and rushed up with the people behind them, and immediately engaged in a fight with the Turkic soldiers. For a while, only roars and screams were heard, completely breaking the silence of the wasteland, and the cold night was immediately stained with a strong smell of blood.

"Princess, let's go!"

Wo Xue was quick-witted and agile. She kicked over a Turkic soldier who rushed through the crowd and wanted to kill Shang Ruyi. She turned around and grabbed Shang Ruyi's wrist to take her back to the camp. Although the guards accompanying them were also carefully selected, these people were far inferior to the Turkic soldiers brought by Ashina Zhuye. There was no possibility of winning if they fought. If Shang Ruyi was really hurt, it would be terrible!
Just when she was about to run away with Shang Ruyi, she felt her wrist sink. Turning back, she saw that Shang Ruyi's hand was resting on the back of her hand.

When I looked up at her again, I saw that her eyes were flickering, as if to comfort her, or as if she was waiting for something.

Shang Ruyi said: "Don't panic."
