Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1040 The world is impermanent
In the darkness, Shang Ruyi's eyes flickered.

Lei Yu frowned and slowly walked towards her, but after taking two steps, Ashina Zhuxie immediately grabbed her arm: "What are you doing!"

Lei Yu looked up at him, gently wiped his hand off her arm, and then said calmly: "I just have something to say to her."

Ashina Zhuxie was silent for a moment, sighed, and had no choice but to let her go.

Lei Yu walked towards her step by step, and Shang Ruyi also walked towards her, but after taking two steps, she was stopped softly by Wo Xue behind her - although they had heavy armored cavalry to protect them, Shang Ruyi was still their most important person, and if anything unexpected happened, none of them would be alive.

Shang Ruyi could only stand at the edge of the camp, while Lei Yu walked over and also stood at the edge of the camp.

There was a distance of four or five steps between the two people.

But it seems like it is already the end of the world.

Looking at Lei Yu, who finally had a bit of life in his face, but still had no warmth in his eyes when he looked at her, Shang Ruyi felt a dull pain in her heart, which came with her heartbeats. Her throat was choked, and she said after a while: "You, won't go back with me, right?"

Lei Yu looked at her coldly: "If the General of the Cavalry is killed by the Turks, will you go to the Turks with me?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi was speechless.

Lei Yu looked at her and said word by word clearly and solemnly: "Some things, once they happen, they will happen."

"..."

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

"..."

“Once you embark on some roads, there is no turning back.”

Shang Ruyi's chest felt like it was hit hard by something invisible.

These words were exactly what she had said to Lei Yu on Tianding Mountain before, but she didn't expect that Lei Yu would return them all to her now. At that time, Lei Yu couldn't respond to her words. If she were in his shoes, she would also be speechless.

Shang Ruyi felt something blocking her throat. After struggling for a long time, she could only say hoarsely, "Lei Yu..."

Lei Yu said: "I can't go back, and I won't go back."

"..."

"Not only will I not go back, I will also avenge my father!"

"..."

"So, think carefully about whether you want to let us go or not."

If Lei Yu's words just now sounded like a punch to Shang Ruyi, then when Shang Ruyi heard these words at this moment, he felt as if his heart was stabbed with blood.

If it were under normal circumstances, if Lei Yu, or someone else used such words to "test" her, Shang Ruyi would definitely be furious and would retort without any hesitation. She has always been a person who would not suffer any loss. If someone made her uncomfortable, she would also make others uncomfortable. This is fair.

But now, she can't do it.

Looking at Lei Yu's eyes that were as cold as if they were covered with a layer of frost, Shang Ruyi said with difficulty: "Don't say that..."

When she said the last few words, her voice was choked and hoarse. Hearing her words, Lei Yu's cold eyes also revealed a trace of brokenness. She looked at Shang Ruyi, wanting to say something, but stopped herself several times. After struggling for a long time, her eyes were full of heat, as if they were about to overflow at any time. She could only turn her head to hide it, but when she saw the appearance of the heavy armored cavalry around her, she sighed, then turned back to look at Shang Ruyi and said, "Are these your own people?"

"Yes,"

Shang Ruyi nodded and looked at her: "You told me before that in troubled times, the only thing that can protect you is the few soldiers you have. I have always remembered it."

Lei Yu nodded.

At this moment, it was hard to tell whether she looked relieved or disappointed, but that kind of bleak sadness still filled Shang Ruyi's heart. She clearly felt that the sincere intimacy between the two of them in the past, where they could talk about anything, had disappeared completely, and at this moment, only a little dry embarrassment remained.

After all, neither Lei Yu, who said these words, nor she, who heard these words, had ever thought that one day this team would have an impact on the relationship between them.

Nothing is permanent...

In such an awkward and desolate atmosphere, Lei Yu finally took a deep breath, as if he had faced the fact that no matter how deep their love and sincerity were, it was no longer possible to save the relationship, so he said, "Well, I'm leaving."

As soon as she turned around, Shang Ruyi suddenly stepped forward: "Lei Yu!"

Lei Yu stopped but did not look back. He just stood there quietly, as if waiting for her to speak.

Shang Ruyi bit her lower lip and finally said, "I don't want us to be enemies."

"..."

"There is no good words when scolding each other, and there is no good punch when fighting each other. Moreover, if we are in this situation, if we really fight, we will not use good means. No matter what, I don't want us to get to that point."

Lei Yu turned around and gave her a sharp look.

She also realized what this meant. Shang Ruyi was the one who knew the truth about He Du Yueliang. If it really came to that, would she -

Lei Yu said coldly: "How far we go is up to the injured person to decide."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Soon, the Turkic camp disappeared in the busyness covered by the night. Shang Ruyi had been standing at the edge of the camp, and finally watched Ashina Zhuxie protecting Lei Yu and climbing onto the horse in the firelight. She did not look back at her, but just whipped the horse, and her back quickly disappeared into the night.

Shang Ruyi knew that this might be the last time they would meet.

Her heart was broken, and what hurt even more was that she knew very well that no matter how much pain she felt, she could not change what had already happened and could not turn back.

Just as Shang Ruyi stood there in a daze, watching the Western Turkic troops disappear into the night, watching the dark night without leaving any backs, a fragrant breeze blew over, and Lu Xiao's soft voice rang in his ears: "Are you sad?"

Shang Ruyi sobered up a little. She took a deep breath, turned around and said calmly, "I'm fine. Why haven't you rested yet?"

Lu Xiao said: "How can anyone rest when there is so much noise?"

There was such a commotion outside just now, it was impossible for her not to have heard it, but she never showed up, obviously not intending to get involved in the fight between them and the Western Turks - this was certainly a smart choice, after all, at that time, if a weak woman like her showed up, it would be useless except to drag down others and hurt herself.

Shang Ruyi said: "It's alright now, go back and rest early, we still have to travel tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly.

She asked, "Where are you going?"

Seeing her nervous, as if waiting for the verdict, Shang Ruyi sighed inwardly, and then said, "Of course, Luoyang."
