Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 223 This Person Was Never Hers
In the evening, Xiao Yuansui left with his people.

Shang Ruyi was standing at the highest point of Cangcheng, at the gate of the already somewhat deserted meeting hall, watching those people slowly exit Cangcheng, and their figures gradually disappeared into the snow along the winding mountain road.

The cold wind is bitter, and the thick bloody smell around the city is lingering in this warehouse. The deep coldness almost freezes the blood of everyone here. Although she has not suffered any injuries until now, she does not know Why, the whole body is so weak, it seems that the next moment, he will fall into the bloody aura that is about to coalesce.

Just when she was a little shaky and hurriedly reached out to hold the door frame to stabilize her figure, she heard the hurried footsteps and shouts of those around her, and after a while, a group of people came over.

It was Yu Wenye who led the people to wipe out the city.

Although the people in the brigade have already left, it is inevitable that there are some fish who slipped through the net hiding in the dark. Yu Wenye cleared all these people out, and ordered people to clean up all the gates immediately, carried the corpses away, and then asked people to count again immediately Granary, and all exits were blocked.

In the end, he brought Mu Xian and a few generals back to the hall, and said as he walked, "Let people go down the mountain to prepare the horses, and we will return to the city immediately."

Mu Xian said: "Yes."

He turned around and went down, and those lieutenant generals also took orders, and took their men down to guard the granary again.

After explaining everything, Yu Wenye happened to walk to the gate.

Before, he only wore a thin unlined garment, obviously for the convenience of movement, now that the crisis in the city is temporarily lifted, he doesn't have to suffer from the cold anymore, so he put on a thick fur coat; although it is a fur coat, it is very It is simple, without any decoration, and the color is dark blue and black, but because it is worn on him, it reveals a different kind of nobility in its simplicity.

When Shang Ruyi saw it, he couldn't move his eyes.

But when she raised her head again to meet Yu Wenye's gaze, she immediately looked away.

Because as soon as he saw her, Yu Wenye's face darkened immediately, and that stern gaze also scraped across her face like a knife.

Shang Ruyi shivered involuntarily.

She suddenly remembered that the picture of Yu Wenye furious at her before, as if trying to tear her apart, still left her with lingering fears; moreover, what he said before - "I'll settle the score with you later", I don't know Now, does it count as his "late"?

However, Shang Ruyi still decided to act first, as the saying goes, if you reach out, you won't hit the smiling face!

So, she took the initiative to step forward and said softly, "Are you leaving?"

It seemed that she didn't expect her to speak on her own initiative, but Yu Wenye just squinted her eyes and glanced at her, and realized that she was taking the initiative to show weakness, but she didn't get angry anymore, and only said coldly: "Why, Are you reluctant to leave?"

"No, I just think—you must be working hard these days, don't you want to take a break?"

"..."

"You still have injuries on your back. Does it hurt?"

"..."

Knowing that she said these words of concern on purpose, and said them so gently, Yu Wenye's heart still couldn't help softening a bit.

His expression also softened.

He looked at her deeply for a while, the look in his eyes was tangled for a while, and finally sighed, "It's okay."

"That--"

"But we can't stay any longer."

"why?"

"I lost three times in the previous three battles. Although it is an expedient strategy, if you really care about it, it is enough to kill your head. If you don't return to the Eastern Capital as soon as possible to report the results of the battle, I'm afraid—"

Having said this, Shang Ruyi suddenly realized.

That's right, Chu Yang had already been murderous towards Yu Wenye before, and even opened his mouth in front of her. Although she risked admonition and won a chance from Yu Wenye, but this time, Yu Wenye appeared again." The news of "defecting", I am afraid that Kou Yunliang has already reported this crime back to Dongdu, if they go back a moment later, the Yuwen family will be in great trouble!
They do have to get back as fast as possible!

Yu Wenye frowned again and said, "Why are you here?"

Mentioning this, Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "I got news that someone is going to harm you. I was worried that you would not be careful, so I came here."

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows.

Shang Ruyi then quickly told him the secret letter he had received and the contents of the letter. Yu Wenye frowned when he heard it, pondered for a while, and said, "Do you know who sent it?"

Shang Ruyi shook his head.

Yu Wenye thought for a while and thought, "I'll investigate this matter when I go back."

As he said that, he frowned again and looked at Shang Ruyi and said, "So, with just such a letter, you're going to die?!"

Shang Ruyi said confidently, "But, someone is going to harm you."

"..."

"How can I not care?"

Yu Wenye was stunned for a moment.

He was silent for a long time, but also held back for a long time. His expression changed a few times, and finally he took a deep breath, turned his head and walked out, saying as he walked, "Follow me!"

"Huh? Oh."

Shang Ruyi didn't know why he suddenly changed his face again, but he followed immediately.

Yu Wenye led more than 1 people to carry out this plan to attack Xingluocang in two ways. Now, the number has hardly decreased. He left more than 1 people to continue guarding Cangcheng, and he repeatedly ordered them to strictly enforce the plan. The guards must not be taken down as easily as last time, otherwise, the emperor will definitely kill all of them.

And he only brought a team of a few hundred people back.

Although it was getting late, the heavy snow kept falling, and people were shivering in the cold, but Shang Ruyi also explained to Yu Wenye everything he encountered when he came to Luokou Ferry while walking.Especially when talking about that night, when she almost died at the hands of Kou Yunliang, Yu Wenye's face could be seen even under the dark sky, it was frighteningly gloomy.

However, he said nothing.

Shang Ruyi asked: "You said that Kou Yunliang not only suppressed your food and grass, but also forced you to send troops several times knowing that he could not attack that road. This is to force you to death. Is he the one who said he was going to harm you?"

"Maybe."

"However, he is the supervising army, sent by the emperor. Since the emperor asked you to attack Xingluocang, it was to get back Xingluocang. If he harms you again, wouldn't it be disregarding Xingluocang's ownership?"

Yu Wenye glanced at her, and said coldly: "You will speak for the emperor."

Shang Ruyi was startled, and immediately said: "I didn't—"

But her explanation was interrupted by Yu Wenye, with a cold "I don't want to hear" expression, he said: "However, this also proves that although Kou Yunliang is the emperor's supervisor, he Possibly, but also take orders from other people."

"Ok?"

Shang Ruyi looked at him with wide eyes.

Yu Wenye glanced at her and said, "Maybe, it has something to do with the painting you received."

"..."

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, and followed him forward while thinking carefully, but the snowy road was slippery, and she almost slipped on the icy mountain road when she lost her mind. Fortunately, Yu Wenye had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed her. live.

He frowned and said, "Can you be careful!"

Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat again, especially when she felt the warmth from his hands, her hands and feet were cold, and she fell in love with him all at once.

And Yu Wenye looked at her blushing face, but he didn't withdraw his hand immediately.

He just looked down at her: "Cold?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

The clothes that Xiao Yuansui had someone prepare for her were okay to wear in the city, but once out of the city, the wind and snow blew up, and her hands and feet were immediately icy cold. It was fine when she was not touched by him, but once she touched his As soon as he took his body temperature, he immediately felt that his whole body was about to freeze.

At this time, a pair of hands came up and wrapped her in his arms.

Shang Ruyi was taken aback, and looked up at him, only to see Yu Wenye looking at the front coldly, as if he didn't bother to look at her at all, and said, "I'll settle the score with you when I go back!"

"..."

Shang Ruyi lowered her head and couldn't help smiling bitterly.

He wants to count with himself, it seems that there are quite a lot.

But at this time, she made some things clear.

So, while nestling in his arms and following his steps, he said softly: "What you meant just now is that there is someone else who really wants to harm you, and Kou Yunliang may be related to this person; The person who painted the picture should also be someone close to that person who discovered the secret, so he sent the message to me."

Yu Wenye said: "At least it looks more reasonable this way."

Shang Ruyi said softly, "I thought of someone."

Yu Wenye's breathing seemed to be stagnant for a moment, but he didn't look down at her, and he didn't stop walking. He just walked forward calmly and said, "You don't need to say it."

"Ah."

At this time, the two of them had a tacit understanding, and this tacit understanding gave Shang Ruyi a little indescribable feeling in his heart, as if he knew that his body was warm and his hands were warm, but that kind of warmth It seemed very far away, but it was just a cluster of fires far away in the sky on a snowy night.

This person who is close at hand... is always not hers.

With this thought, her heart was also in a mess.

But when his heart was flustered, his footsteps became chaotic, Yu Wenye obviously felt that something was wrong with the little girl in his arms, he couldn't help lowering his head, looking at the too pale little face that was almost buried in his arms, and said in a deep voice Said: "What's wrong?"

When they said this, they happened to pass by the mountain gate.

This place is the only way to leave Xingluocang and go down Huangtu Ridge. On one side is a cliff and on the other side is a towering mountain wall. The narrow path makes it inevitable that everyone will gather together, and the sky will be dark. In order to prevent accidents, the people inside also lit the torches. In the light of the fire, Yu Wenye's figure was the tallest and most conspicuous.

When passing by the narrow mountain road, the flames projected the figures of the surrounding people on the mountain wall. The shadows and ghosts looked particularly frightening.

Yu Wenye frowned suddenly: "Put the fire out!"

The people around were a little stunned. The mountain road here is rugged. After putting out the fire, wouldn't they want to go down the mountain in the dark?

Everyone hesitated, Shang Ruyi raised her head from his arms and said softly, "We—"

But before the words were finished, on the other side of the narrow mountain gate, suddenly a lightning-like cold light came directly, stirring up a gust of cold wind and almost extinguishing those torches. When the flames ignited again, everyone turned their heads. Look, I was taken aback!
An arrow was shot in Yu Wenye's chest!
