Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 266 Afraid of Water?Still uncomfortable?
Now that he had come back, Shang Ruyi got up immediately, first helped him pack his clothes, and then asked his servants to bring over dinner quickly, and then the two of them sat down to eat.Ever since Yu Wenyuan sent people to take Yu Wencheng away, there were only the two of them left at home, and they no longer went to the dining hall for meals, but only stayed in the room. Although they were not very well-behaved, they were indeed much more comfortable.

While eating, Shang Ruyi asked: "Today, people from the Ministry of War sent you over?"

"Ah."

"What is it?"

"It's still about the battle of Xingluocang before, and there are still some things to hand over. However, the people guarding Cangcheng, that is, the thousands of people who were brought over before, will not change."

Speaking of this, Yu Wenye's eyes flickered slightly.

But Shang Ruyi asked worriedly: "Didn't you explain everything clearly in Dali Temple before? Why do you still have to ask this time?"

Yu Wenye looked up at her and said, "Why do you say?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi fell silent.

Her thoughts drifted away, but they didn't drift away. Instead, they drifted back to the last topic they talked about before she fell into a deep sleep last night.

She suddenly said: "How does the imperial court plan to use troops against Hebei?"

Yu Wenye said: "I'll pretend to forget about it."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly shook her head, how could she forget this matter?Ever since Yu Wenye told her that the Lei family's father and daughter had rebelled, she had a faint feeling that even if this matter did not fall on the Yuwen family's head at this moment, in the end, it would still require the participation of the Yuwen family.

Sure enough, Yu Wenye said: "Now Hebei is like a monolith. If we attack directly, there is almost no chance of winning. Therefore, the imperial court plans to divide into two routes."

"Which two ways?"

"All the way is against the Turks,"

Yu Wenye reached out and tapped on the table, and said: "Although the Turks suffered at Yanmen Pass before, the civil strife has not been cleared up, and the imperial court has no way to use large-scale troops against the Turks. However, my father has never lost contact with the Turks in Shanxi. When they fight against each other, as long as he puts more effort on his side, the pressure on Hebei's side will be much less."

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.

Therefore, we still have to rely on Sheng Guogong.

But last time, the imperial court cut off all the soldiers and horses sent to him. Now, is he going to use his own troops to confront the Turks?

However, since Yu Wenyuan made such a sacrifice, he must be prepared to bear the consequences of this incident, or in other words, he has a countermeasure, but what really worries them now is——

Shang Ruyi said softly: "The other way, is it to attack Wanggang village?"

Yu Wenye glanced at her, with a faint smile overflowing from the corner of his eyes, as if he was very satisfied, he nodded.

Shang Ruyi continued: "The Ministry of War asked you to question, to find out that after the last Xingluocang battle between you and Wang Gangjun, it is impossible to have a chance to hook up again, so—"

Yu Wenye slightly raised his eyebrows.

Shang Ruyi subconsciously held her breath and stared into his eyes: "Could it be you?"

Yu Wenye looked up at her: "Do you wish it was me?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi hesitated for a while, then murmured: "I, I don't know."

As the general of the Fuguo, it is his duty to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion; but the last time he attacked Xingluocang, Xiao Yuansui was outside, Wang Shaoji was inside, and there was even a huge black hand on top of his head. Beating him down and coming back with a complete victory, the right time, place, people, and even luck are not enough to explain all of this. It can only be said that Yu Wenye has strength beyond what she knows, anyone else.

But again, who can guarantee that he can still come back unscathed?
What's more, if he leads the army to go out, then he has to - guard the empty boudoir alone?Shang Ruyi is not willing to admit these four words, but in her heart, there is indeed this "hypocrisy".

Seeing her conflicted appearance, Yu Wenye smiled faintly and said, "The imperial court also thinks so."

"Ok?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Yu Wenye said: "The imperial court doesn't know whether it should let me go."

Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "Then do you want to go?"

Yu Wenye glanced at her, and unexpectedly nodded, "I want to go."

"You want to go?"

Shang Ruyi looked at him in surprise, but the next moment, Yu Wenye said slowly, "However, I want to go, not because I want to fight desperately with the people in Wanggangzhai——now, it's not time for me to fight desperately with them." when."

Shang Ruyi looked at him with wide eyes in surprise.

I want to go, but I don't want to fight desperately with the people in Wanggangzhai.So what is he trying to do?
She didn't ask, and Yu Wenye obviously didn't intend to say anything more, the two of them quieted down again, and finished their dinner in silence, and when the servants came to clean up the dishes, Yu Wenye turned around and saw that they were placed on the side of the room box and asked, "What's that?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Didn't you say that you are going to pay homage to your mother? I went out today to buy things I need."

Yu Wenye frowned slightly: "It's just right, I just went out and ran around."

"..."

Mentioning this, Shang Ruyi felt a little guilty, and said softly: "I thought, it is filial piety if it is something for my mother, or if I buy it myself; what's more, there are so many people left at home, and there is no spare manpower." .”

Yu Wenye glanced at her and sighed lightly.

Now, Yuwen's house is deserted, they don't speak, and there is no sound in the whole house.

He said, "After a while, it will be fine."

Shang Ruyi looked up at him, but didn't ask why it would be better after a while, and how long it would take. Instead, Yu Wenye asked again: "Then how is your body?"

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "It's okay."

Yu Wenye said: "Then, let's go to Banyan Temple tomorrow."

Shang Ruyi nodded.

So on the second day, the two of them packed some things, Shang Ruyi only brought Tusheer, Yu Wenye brought Mu Xian and two entourages, and the group left Yuwen's house in a carriage early in the morning.

However, when he was leaving the city gate, he was stopped.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw the members of Yuwen's family, they rushed to report. After a while, the deputy general who guarded the city came over in person, bowed his hands respectfully to Yu Wenye who was sitting in the carriage: "General."

Although he was blocked in the middle of the road, and the passers-by all looked sideways, Yu Wenye was not angry at all, he raised a corner of the curtain to look at him, and said calmly, "What do you mean by blocking me?"

The deputy general laughed and said: "Don't blame the general, I don't know why the general left the city with his family today?"

Yu Wenye frowned slightly: "This general is going out of the city to handle errands, and I still have to explain to you?"

The lieutenant general still laughed: "Of course not, it's just that the general is an important minister of the imperial court. I will naturally find out your whereabouts."

Yu Wenye laughed.

And Shang Ruyi, who was sitting beside him, frowned, poked her head out and said, "We are going out of the city to go to Banyan Temple to pay homage to our relatives. Do we have to explain this to you? When will the imperial court even take care of the family affairs of the ministers?" ?”

The lieutenant was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the people following the car, and it really didn't look like they were relocating with their family, so he handed over his hands and apologized: "Sorry, I was reckless."

After speaking, immediately let go sideways.

The carriage drove slowly past the city gate and went a long way. When Shang Ruyi turned her head again, she could still see the soldiers guarding the city looking at their carriage, as if they were still saying something.

She sat back in the car, thought for a while, then turned to look at Yu Wenye: "We—"

Yu Wenye said calmly: "It's okay."

Those two words seemed to admit all the doubts in her heart, but also smoothed all her worries. After thinking about it, she nodded and didn't ask any more questions. On the contrary, Yu Wenye, who was beside her, half-closed her eyes. There was a sharp light in his eyes.

The carriage staggered for another hour, and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain across the river from Banyan Temple around noon.

Because today is not the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, there are not many people going to the temple. Mu Xian even sent someone to hire a boat in advance. When they arrived, the boatman was already waiting at the ferry, and Yu Wenye helped her onto the boat. As soon as he sat down, the boatman left the ferry with a bamboo pole and wobbled towards the opposite bank.

When the bamboo pole fell into the water, it caused a small splash, and when it was supported together, countless ripples were stirred up.

After a while, the boat reached the middle of the river.

Yu Wenye was looking at the scenery outside, and suddenly felt that the surroundings seemed a little too quiet. He looked down, and saw Shang Ruyi leaning against him, with both hands on his knees, and his fingers were even clasping himself hard.

And her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Yu Wenye couldn't help frowning slightly.

He seems to remember that she was a little too quiet the last time she sent the spirit across the river, but at that time, because of the relationship between sending the spirit, everyone was very quiet and very depressed, so her silence did not appear to be too much. too eye-catching.

But this time, he clearly felt that Shang Ruyi was not silent.

But nervously silent.

He looked down at her and said softly, "what's the matter?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi didn't speak, and after a while, she slowly raised her head to look at him, her lips twitched twice, and said softly, "No, it's fine."

Yu Wenye frowned.

How can it be all right like this?
He couldn't help reaching out to help her gently wipe the sweat on her forehead, and said, "Afraid of water? Or is it uncomfortable?"

He had heard that some people would get dizzy when they were on a boat, or even vomit and faint in severe cases. He didn't know if Shang Ruyi was in that situation, so he said softly, "Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

"..."

Facing his gentle expression, Shang Ruyi only felt that the tight string in her heart was gently caressed by a gentle hand, and it was miraculously relaxed.

Although, it didn't relax too much.

She gritted her teeth and remained silent for a long time, only shook her head, and then slowly leaned her head into his arms.

Although she was covered in cold sweat and trembling uncontrollably, leaning in his arms, absorbing the familiar body temperature and breath, seemed to be able to rescue her from the nightmare-like shadow.

And even though she couldn't figure out why she was like this, she could feel that the person in her arms seemed rare, and she threw herself into her arms with all her heart, and Yu Wenye also lost her mind for a moment.

After a while, he gently reached out and hugged her tightly.
