Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1156 I am the sky!
A cloud of dust, from south to north, was like a handwriting from heaven, once again drawing a bold stroke on this land that had already been stained red with blood.

Yuwen Ye led more than ten light cavalry and galloped all the way to Niukouzhu.

Shang Ruyi was still in his arms, riding on the same horse with him. In fact, just now, after learning where Xiao Yuansui was going, he also tentatively wanted Shentu Tai to escort her back to Hulao Pass, but he was flatly rejected by her as soon as he opened his mouth. Yuwen Ye also knew in his heart that Shang Ruyi must personally participate in the outcome of this battle, and even the outcome of Xiao Yuansui.

So he took her with him, and they all rode their horses at full speed. After running for more than ten miles, they finally saw the turbulent Yellow River ahead.

There is also a field of reeds swaying in the wind.

The reeds spread along the river bank for almost ten miles, as if someone had inlaid a fluffy velvet edge on the Yellow River. There is also a piece of land that gradually extends to the center of the river, forming a spindle-shaped islet. Because of the special terrain here, the sound of wind and waves interweaves like the roar of a cow, so it is called Niukou Islet.

At this moment, someone had stepped on a gap in the reed bush, and the reed flowers scattered, fluttering in the air and drifting far away with the wind, before slowly falling down. For a moment, it looked like falling snow, blinding people's eyes.

Amidst the chaotic flying catkins, Xiao Yuansui rode his horse hard.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he had no choice but to turn his horse around and leave his battlefield. At first, he was followed by dozens of his personal soldiers, but the more he walked, the clearer it became that the 100,000-strong army had completely surrendered, throwing away their weapons and armor, and there was no possibility of a counterattack. Therefore, these people who were with him fled one by one. When they were about to reach Niukouzhu, he was the only one left on horseback.

And the green silk in my arms.

Along the way, she did not struggle, nor did she try to escape. She just sat quietly on the horse's back and let him wave the whip madly and gallop. She was almost thrown off the horse several times, but she still kept her body steady, and Xiao Yuansui subconsciously reached out to hold her.

As if holding on to the last bit of life...

However, just as they ran through the reeds and were about to step onto Niukouzhu, suddenly, a whistle came from behind them!
That was the sound of a flying arrow that Xiao Yuansui was extremely familiar with. He suddenly tensed up and was about to turn back subconsciously, but just as he turned his head, a cold light brushed across his cheek and flew past with a whoosh.

An arrow was stuck in the ground several feet in front of them until the feather was gone.

Xiao Yuansui froze.

His arms stiffened and he pulled the reins. The warhorse under him neighed and stopped. Then he slowly turned his head and saw Yuwen Ye standing on the horse in the reeds behind him with Shang Ruyi in his arms. The huge bow in his hand was still shaking slightly, making a buzzing sound.

He was horrified that after such a fierce battle, Yuwen Ye, who was clearly injured, could still shoot such a fatal arrow!
But this was also the last arrow shot from the Divine Arm Bow.

The next moment, there was a sound of "click", and this handed-down divine bow broke in Yuwen Ye's hand!

"what!"

This time, it was Shang Ruyi who couldn't help but let out a cry. She looked at the broken divine arm bow in Yuwen Ye's hand in disbelief, her eyes filled with regret: "Divine arm bow..."

There was not much warmth on Yuwen Ye's face.

Only when the bow and arrow broke into two pieces and fell down, leaving only a piece of bowstring tied to his hand, cutting him painfully, did he sigh: "The general must die in battle. Finally, he was lost in the battle."

Since Wang Shaoji gave this bow to him, he has been with him in many battles, not only defeating many enemies, but also creating countless legends. But in this battle, he tried his best and even used this bow as a long weapon. When he captured Xiao Yuansui's central army tent, he felt that the several knife marks on the bow were enough to destroy it. Rather than putting it aside, making the warrior unemployed and the hero come to an end, it is better to make a final blow!
And this attack also cut off Xiao Yuansui's path.

In the surrounding reeds, the troops led by him were looming, and they were obviously taking the opportunity to surround the reeds, leaving Xiao Yuansui with no way to escape. He listened to the sound of horse hooves around him until the sound completely surrounded him on all sides, and then he finally stopped.

Then, Shentu Tai rode his horse and walked out gently from the reeds. Behind him was the kind boy who had just glanced at him among the thousands of soldiers but had never called out to him.

At this moment, both of them were silent, as if they had nothing to say.

The first to speak was Xiao Yuansui. He sneered as he watched Yuwen Ye throw away the broken bow. He had already used the last Mo Dao in his hand to save Shang Ruyi before, and now he didn't even have any weapons in his hand.

Xiao Yuansui asked, "Why, are you planning to use your tongue as a sword?"

Yuwen Ye said: "I have this plan."

"..."

"But I still hope that you can understand the current situation and be a hero, so that you and I don't have to waste our breath."

"..."

Xiao Yuansui narrowed his eyes slightly. His eyes, which had always been bright and gleaming like pearls, were red and bloodshot. At this moment, they looked strange and dim. He sneered again, "A man who knows how to handle affairs of state is a hero. Do you want me to know how to handle affairs of state and become a part of your merit book as the Prince of Qin, and a military achievement that will go down in history?"

Yuwen Ye said: "This is not your choice, I have already won." Xiao Yuansui gritted his teeth, his eyes redder: "Do you really think that I lost to you?"

At this moment, he inevitably recalled that night. It was clearly Yuwen Ye who fell into his trap and was injured after breaking into the enemy camp at night. He was also chased all the way to the bank of the Yellow River by him and his personal soldiers... Yes, it was just like the situation now.

At that time, he had almost won.

If he had been given a little more time, even if there had been no accidents, he would have killed this nemesis. Perhaps in the future, he would have been able to achieve his lifelong ambition!
But that night, when he had the upper hand, Shan Tonger appeared with a dozen monks.

A person who shouldn't have come back to save Yuwen Ye, a group of monks who shouldn't have participated in the war.

Their appearance was like God plucking the strings of fate at that moment, playing a dirge for him. After that, he began to doubt whether God no longer favored him as much as before, whether Yuwen Ye really had a destiny, and even more doubtful -

The phoenix sings beside Xiaoshan Mountain.

What matters is not Xiaoshan, but Fengming...

Xiao Yuansui gripped the reins in his hands more and more tightly. The burrs on the rough rope almost pierced his fingers and palms, but the slight pain did not make him uncomfortable. Instead, it made him feel happy.

No, he didn't lose, nor did he lose to Yuwen Ye, but -

At this moment, Yuwen Ye spoke up and asked coldly: "Then who do you think you lost to?"

"..."

"The right time? The right place? Or the right people?"

"...!"

Xiao Yuansui's eyes flashed, and he was about to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Yuwen Ye said in a deep voice: "If you think that you lost because of people--" At this point, he glanced sideways at Shentu Tai and Shan Tong'er who were following him. Both of them were silent. Shan Tong'er's face was especially pale. Even though he had rebelled against Wanggangzhai for a long time, Yuwen Ye knew his character. He still had sympathy and compassion for the brothers who had fought side by side with him, and this was exactly why Yuwen Ye valued him so much.

It’s a pity that Xiao Yuansui didn’t understand... He never understood, which is why a good Wanggang village ended up falling apart.

People like Shentu Tai and Shan Tong'er were also used by him.

Even, there is the beauty in his arms.

Xiao Yuansui's failure was never the failure of a certain battle, or the failure of a certain strategy, but the fact that he had embarked on a path of no return since he followed the Zuo family in rebellion. Along the way, he kept betraying and abandoning people. Even though he had tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people with him, he was now alone. Even the person who cared about him the most and almost gave his whole body and soul to him, also turned against him.

Yuwen Ye said: "I am Renhe!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuansui's breath suddenly sank.

Yuwen Ye continued: "If you think you lost on the ground--"

As he spoke, everyone looked around involuntarily. Not far ahead was the Hulao Pass that he had defended for a long time, and the Sishui River that lay in front of the Hulao Pass. At this time, the setting sun was slanting down, and the golden sunlight was reflected on the river, reflecting the dazzling sparkling light.

It was by taking advantage of this river and the arrogant mentality of the 100,000-strong army that he was able to successfully break through the enemy's defense line.

There is also this vast land, where Xiao Yuansui has deployed 100,000 soldiers in battle array. It looks indeed mighty and majestic. Ordinary people would be scared and flee at the sight of it. However, it is also this terrain that gives Yuwen Ye's last trump card in his hand - the Black Armor Army - the best opportunity to appear.

Yuwen Ye said: "I am the geographical advantage!"

Xiao Yuansui clenched his teeth tightly, even though the two sides were still some distance apart, even though the muddy waves of the Yellow River were rolling in front of them, and even though the wind was howling, they seemed to hear the sound of his teeth grinding and his heavy breathing like the growl of a wild beast.

Yuwen Ye said: "If you think that you lost because of fate..."

Xiao Yuansui asked: "How?"

Under the setting sun, the fiery red sunlight made everyone's faces red, including the fiery warhorse under Yuwen Ye's seat. At this time, it seemed as if it was burning with flames all over. Yuwen Ye in the flames, his bright armor was coated with a layer of golden light by the setting sun. His whole body exuded a dazzling light that made people dare not look at him closely.

He said word by word: "I am the sky!"
