Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 283 The sky is about to change again...

Chen Tang lowered his voice and said: "Brothers found some suspicious people outside the village."

"Oh?"

When Jiang Kesheng heard this, he immediately asked, "Who are they?"

Chen Tangdao: "They observed for a while, and they were all young and middle-aged. In the past two days, several groups have passed by on the road outside Zhuangzi. Moreover, in the past few months, except for our own people, no young and middle-aged people have appeared here again. gone."

Jiang Kesheng turned to look at Shang Ruyi: "Young Madam."

However, Shang Ruyi thought for a while in silence, and then said with a faint smile: "Recently, there are a lot of people running away from Luoyang, so it's not surprising that some people pass by here."

Jiang Kesheng said: "Then we—"

Shang Ruyi said: "Don't worry about them, just let your people do their own thing well."

"Yes."

Jiang Kesheng immediately asked Chen Tang and the others to continue patrolling around Zhuangzi, while he packed up the map himself and retreated.

Shang Ruyi sat for a while, and finally let out a long sigh as if taking a breath, then turned to Tusheer and said, "Go and pack your luggage, we will return to Luoyang tomorrow."

Tucher said: "Yes."

Chang Wan and Wo Xue immediately asked: "Young Madam, do you want us to clean up together?"

Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "You two don't want to be lazy, hurry up and cook, I was exhausted from the training ground just now, and I was already hungry."

Hearing this, Wo Xue laughed immediately, and took Chang Wan to the kitchen together.

After they had all left, Shang Ruyi sighed softly again, looked up at the faintly bright but still gloomy sky outside, wondering when the light from the top of the sky would be able to completely penetrate the haze and shine down.

After a long time, she murmured: "The sky is going to change again..."

What she said seemed like an omen.

That night, the whistling north wind blew all night, as if Liang Shide's troops hadn't arrived, but the aroused wind had arrived first. In his sleep, Shang Ruyi even heard the sound of the flagpole being blown down in the training ground. When I woke up the next morning, the wind still hadn't stopped, and the sky began to snow again.

By the time they had breakfast, the snow on the road was ankle-deep, and the wind and snow kept blowing, blinding people's eyes. The dark clouds seemed to be a ruthless black hand, pressing down on these mornings. People who are already mentally fragile are breathless.

This is true for the people in Zhuangzi, but it is even more difficult for those outside the Zhuangzi who want to hide their whereabouts and pay close attention to everything in Zhuangzi.

A few strong men hid in a dead wood not far from the foot of the mountain. The howling north wind cut their faces and bodies like knives. They were all shivering from the cold, and someone complained unconsciously: "A general's wife, why make us work so hard?"

Standing beside him was the small captain of the team, who only glanced at him coldly and said, "If you want to complain, go to His Majesty and complain."

The man gritted his teeth and could only keep his mouth shut.

A person who was hiding half sideways behind him clasped his hands together around his mouth twice, and then said: "This general's wife is not an ordinary person, otherwise, how could there be so many relatives of officials who followed His Majesty to Jiangdu Palace this time alone?" Let's keep an eye on her."

Another person whispered: "I heard from my brother who went to Yanmen County that His Majesty seems to have some relationship with this lady..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was stabbed in the eye by the team leader, and immediately closed his mouth.

"Guys, do you really don't want your head?"

At this moment, the person standing at the front suddenly whispered: "They came out!"

Everyone immediately looked up and saw a group of people walking out of Zhuangzi in the wind and snow. Although all of them were wearing thick clothes and holding umbrellas, not only could they not tell the difference between people, even men and women. It was almost impossible to distinguish, but they still recognized immediately that the figure walking in the center, wearing a thick and gorgeous sable fur, with someone holding an umbrella for her was the wife of the great general of Fuguo , Shang Ruyi.

I saw them walking out of Zhuangzi slowly, and came to the carriage parked at the intersection early in the morning.

She didn't get into the car immediately, but stood by the car, said a few words to the people around, and seemed to be explaining something, and the one who listened to her words was naturally Jiang Kesheng, the manager of the village, who kept nodding his head, He stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side of Zhuangzi.

Over there, dozens of horses have been prepared, with heavy luggage behind them. Obviously, they plan to leave after she leaves here.

A person whispered: "These people, are you going to leave?"

The team leader stared intently at the front and did not speak. A person next to him whispered: "There is no one around here for a long time. It won't be long before they stay here alone. I just don't know what they will do next." Where are you going?"

"Where are you going? It should be to Taiyuan to find their master."

"Then, when the wife of the great general went south, no one followed her?"

"Didn't she also send a team of nearly a hundred people to the south?"

These people were chattering, and while they were talking, the people at the intersection had already explained the matter clearly, and they saw everyone helping Shang Ruyi into the carriage, and immediately, the carriage brought the guards she had brought with her Staggering on the road, the rest of the people watched the carriage disappear into the snow before returning to the village.

When everything subsided, everyone in the forest gathered immediately.

The team leader said: "You two, take the small road and hurry back to Dongdu, and report to the higher-ups that Mrs. Yuwenshao has returned to the city."

The person who was named said strangely: "Aren't we going back? Why do we need to take a small road?"

The team leader looked like a falcon, glanced at the end of the road in the wind and snow, then stared sharply at the figure shaking in the village, and said in a deep voice: "This road is not easy to walk, now that the wind and snow are so Daddy, they will have to go for at least one day and one night. In order to prevent His Majesty from worrying, you have to go back and report in advance."

As he spoke, he seemed to subconsciously say: "So as not to cause problems."

Although the two were reluctant, they didn't dare to talk too much at this time. After receiving the order, they led the horse and left the dry forest, and set off from another road.

The few remaining people looked at the little captain and asked, "We now—"

The team leader took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, we will walk behind them and follow them back to the city. To avoid any accidents along the way."

Everyone nodded, and they also untied their horses and started on the road.

And just after they left, a group of people walked out of the village, plunged into the storm, and headed north.

|
As the team leader said, this road is not easy to walk, and the wind and snow never stop day and night. Riding a horse in such weather is almost like being tortured.

They couldn't even make a sound of complaint, and finally at the third quarter of the second day, a huge black shadow even darker appeared from the dark night ahead.

They have returned to the Eastern Capital!
The captain couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

At this time, there was no need to keep a distance from Yuwen Mansion's carriage. They rode fast and watched the carriage enter the gate of the city where snowflakes were fluttering. Two people were waiting at the gate of the city.

Everyone reined in their horses and stopped, and the team leader leaned over to look at them: "You guys, have you all reported it?"

The two men bowed their hands to him and saluted: "Yes."

"What does Your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty asked us to continue to watch Yuwen Mansion. Today's brigade is about to leave at Si time. We must make sure that their people are ready to gather at the South City Gate."

"Is it time to leave?"

Hearing this, the team leader couldn't help but took a deep breath, and set off at Sishi, and Mrs. Yuwenshao didn't return to Dongdu City until Maoshi, and it was almost two hours away. The task is really hard to say.

So he nodded and said: "We understand, you go down."

Only then did the two men clasp their hands together, turned and left, and the little captain said to the people behind him: "Everyone, work harder, and then go to Yuwen Mansion to keep an eye on it."

Everyone was already exhausted at this time, but they didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order, so they could only continue to ride their horses and follow the direction of the carriage.Probably because today is the day when the emperor's southern tour team set off, the entire Eastern Capital City has not slept for almost the whole night. , there is always an illusion of being in a labyrinth of suspicion.

After walking for another half an hour, the carriage finally arrived at Yuwen Mansion.

The people here also began to wait early in the morning. The two big lanterns at the door emitted orange light, reflecting the messy flying snowflakes, as if countless sparks were flickering in the sky, and the eyes of the people at the door flickered.

When the carriage stopped at the door, they hurried up to meet it.

And the few people who followed here on horseback and stood at the end of the long street finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Everything is finally settled.

They have worked hard for the past few days, and their meritorious deeds are considered complete. Now they must hurry back to join the Guards, because in less than an hour, His Majesty's southward team is about to set off.

But just when they were about to turn around and leave, the team leader suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Everyone hastily stopped.

Everyone looked at him, and saw his eyes fixed on the entrance of Yuwen Mansion, as if he was looking for something eagerly, and couldn't help but said: "Brother, haven't they gone home already? We should go."

"No, no..."

The team leader muttered, suddenly, his eyes turned red, and he immediately rode his horse and rushed forward.

The few people didn't know what happened, so they could only ride their horses to follow, and saw that he had rushed to the gate of Yuwen Mansion in an instant, and the guards who followed the car saw someone rushing over, and hurried forward to stop them: "What are you doing?" ?”

The team leader ignored them at all, and galloped over on his horse. When he came to the carriage, he opened the curtain!
Inside, it's empty!
