Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 210 Blessings?Or bad results?
In a somewhat narrow room, there was steaming heat and the sound of water rushing.

In the heat that continued to spread, a middle-aged woman came in from behind the screen, holding a set of coarse clothes in her hands and putting them on the low stool beside the bathtub, she said in a rude manner: "I put the clothes here, wear them yourself." .”

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out muttering.

As soon as the door was closed, only Shang Ruyi in the bathtub was left in the room. She slowly raised her head, her eyes were full of vigilance and solemnity.

Last night, despite life and death, she failed to escape the pursuit of that group of men and horses in the darkness, and was captured and taken away by them.

But fortunately, these people were quite polite to her. Not only did they not hurt her, they imprisoned her, and when they saw her bloody body, they prepared hot water for her to take a bath and a change of clothes.After the long journey of the past few days and the life-and-death fight last night, she really needs to cleanse, and more importantly, she needs the time to relax at this moment—but even so, she dare not relax completely.

Here, after all, is Xingluo Cangcheng!

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi shook her head vigorously even though she was a little tired from the warm bath to wake herself up.

At this time, there was a voice of conversation outside the door——

"Sister-in-law, that one in the room is the general's wife?"

"Yes."

"It's strange, isn't the one who fought with us the lackey of the imperial court? Why don't you kill her and bring her back?"

"Well, who knows. That's what the shopkeeper ordered."

"If you want me to say, you shouldn't bother. Her man has been causing trouble for us these days. Well, until now, brother Lu and the others are still looking for him outside with people."

……

Shang Ruyi couldn't listen to the latter words.

find him?

The people from Xingluocang are also looking for Yu Wenye?

She felt uneasy, and the bath soup was a little cold, so she hurried out of the tub.There was no one around to serve her, so she could only take a dry handkerchief to wipe off the water on her body, and reached out to get the clothes that the woman sent.

When she stretched out her hand, she realized that there was a pair of earrings on top of the clothes.

Strange, these people are already polite enough to change her clothes, why, give her something to dress up?But even if you dress up, what can a pair of earrings add?

Besides, at this time, she didn't have that kind of thought.

So she put the pair of earrings aside, and only changed into clothes—it was just an ordinary blue cloth dress, and it was washed white, obviously it was worn by someone else, but at this time she had nothing to criticize, so she carefully tidied it up Nice neckline and belt, and you're ready to go.

However, as soon as he reached the door, he heard footsteps coming from outside.

There is no sound of footsteps, and it is very steady. It is different from ordinary people when you hear it.

Shang Ruyi subconsciously stopped inside the door, held her breath and listened quietly, only to hear a young man's voice: "Your side, are you alright?"

A middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Brother Hua, why did you come here in person? It's almost over, it's almost over, hum, the official wife is troublesome, taking a bath and taking a long time, I'm going to rush her."

"No need."

"Ziying, why don't you lock up this woman?"

"Yeah, we don't have time to take care of the imperial court's hawks and lackeys."

"Go and tell the shopkeeper, kill her."

When he heard that he was going to kill himself, Shang Ruyi's heart couldn't help but tremble, but the next moment, he heard the young man's steady voice say: "Although we came out of Wanggang village, do you still remember the rules of the village? Killing the old and the weak, not killing women and children, this is the iron law! From now on, don't let me hear such words again!"

Although he was young, he had a powerful demeanor as soon as he spoke, and the people around him immediately dared not say anything.

And at this time, the voice said to the closed door: "Madam, if you are ready, come out."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat again.

Unexpectedly, although this person was talking to people outside, her ears were very good. She probably heard that she was standing at the door. She took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out.

There were two guards standing outside the door, and a middle-aged woman who had just come in to give her clothes.

And again, that young man.

He was dressed in blue clothes, with a quiver and a longbow on his back. Shengsheng rescued her from Kou Yunliang's barracks, and approached her with arrow after arrow to Xingluocang's sharpshooter.

Just now, I heard someone call him Brother Hua, Ziying, it seems that he is Huaziying who is called "Little Li Guang" in Wanggang Village.

Hua Ziying raised his head to see her, his eyes flickered, and he immediately bowed his hands and said, "Madam, if you are ready, come with me."

After speaking, he raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, Shang Ruyi left without saying anything.

After all, this Xingluocang City was built by the imperial court. It is obviously different from ordinary cottages. The specifications and layout are much higher. Walking along the way, you can even see some impressive scenery.It's just that now, the gates are no longer guarded by the imperial court, but the people of Wanggangzhai. Their eyes are full of hostility. They walked all the way and were watched by hundreds of eyes, and they also felt like rolling around. The illusion of countless blades.

Just after taking a bath, Shang Ruyi was already covered in cold sweat.

"Don't worry ma'am."

Hua Ziying, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke, Shang Ruyi was startled, and raised her head quickly, but saw that he didn't look back, and still walked forward slowly, saying as he walked: "Our people really don't like the imperial court, but you It's a woman, we people in Wanggangzhai will not embarrass women."

"Oh?"

Shang Ruyi heard the words, thought for a while, and deliberately dragged out her voice, "Aren't you embarrassing women?"

Hua Ziying also seemed to have heard the sarcasm in her mouth, stopped and looked back at her, but saw Shang Ruyi staring at the barrel of arrows and the long bow on his back.

Hua Ziying was not stupid, and immediately understood that she was referring to the arrow that forced her to stop last night.

So he said: "Madam, don't worry, if I dare to shoot an arrow at Madam, I'm 100% sure that it won't hurt you."

"is it?"

"Ma'am, isn't she unharmed now?"

"..."

This is true, no amount of explanations can compare to the facts in front of you.

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Your archery skills are very good."

Hua Ziying looked at her, his falcon-like eyes burst into light: "I don't know, how is it compared to Mr. Yuwen who was able to shoot back a [-] Turkic army in Yanmen County?"

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.

From last night, the moment she realized that the person who shoots arrows in the dark is a sharpshooter, she unconsciously compared this person with Yu Wenye in her heart. Even she would think so, and it was even more inevitable that Huaziying herself would think so .

After all, it is a man's instinct to be competitive.

Especially when a certain skill is proficient and has almost reached its peak, it can't help but compare itself with other masters to prove that it is the pinnacle.

Although Hua Ziying looked mature and stable, he was a man after all, and he was a young man.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "Do you want to compare with him?"

Huaziying took a deep breath, a look of anticipation appeared on that handsome face, even ready to move, and said: "If there is such a day, I will look forward to it."

"Do you think that day will come?"

"If we find him, maybe this day will come soon."

"find him?"

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat again.

Hua Ziying turned around and continued to walk forward, saying as he walked, "You know that your husband is missing, and with his soldiers and horses, he suddenly disappeared in the Luo River valley."

"The reason you dispatched last night was actually to find him?"

"good."

"That--"

"His whereabouts have not been found yet,"

As Hua Ziying spoke, his footsteps also stagnated, and he said, "But maybe, he will appear."

Shang Ruyi frowned, but after thinking about it again, she understood, and said, "That's why you brought me back? Do you think he will show up if you catch me?"

Hanako Ying asked, "Aren't you his wife?"

"..."

This time, Shang Ruyi didn't speak again.

It's not that I have nothing to say, but I feel in my heart that it's a little funny.

It seems that this is Yu Wenye who is so sober and decently plays a competent husband in front of everyone - a blessing?Or, bad results?
Even people who have only met them once will believe that they are deeply in love with each other, and feel that as long as they catch her, Yu Wenye will appear.

But, will he appear because of himself?

Shang Ruyi didn't even want to think about the answer to this question.

But I don't know why, even if I don't think about it, this question is just in front of my eyes, and there is still a faint pain in my heart, which gradually submerges her like flooding, she has some difficulty breathing, subconsciously took a deep breath, And at this moment, Hanako Ying, who was walking in front, stopped.

Shang Ruyi also stopped immediately.

When I looked up, I found that they had reached the entrance of the most central and largest meeting hall in Cangcheng.

The door is open, and there are several braziers inside, but because the place is too big, there are not many braziers and torches, and the light is still not so bright. From Shang Ruyi's point of view, it looks like a dark cave, and I don't know what is waiting inside. look at yourself.

Hanako Ying stopped at the door and said, "Please."

Shang Ruyi took a look at him, and also collected himself, raised his foot and stepped over the high threshold and walked in, while Hua Ziying behind him had already retreated without saying a word.

As soon as you walk into this meeting hall, the first feeling is darkness.

Although she was standing near the gate, the sunlight outside could still shine on her body, but when she looked up, the high place directly in front of the meeting hall, where several steps lead to, was actually dark, and she could barely see it. There was a large table on it, and a person was sitting behind the table, carefully looking at a map that covered the entire table.

The man slowly raised his head until he heard her footsteps.

Under the dim light, those shining eyes, which were already very familiar, looked at her again.

There was even a happy smile in his eyes.

"Young lady, long time no see."

Shang Ruyi also took a deep breath, and said into those eyes, "Young Master Xiao, it's been a long time."
