Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 288 Is it Yu Wenye?
God, it's getting dark fast.

Although he knew that it would be dark soon, so he rode fast all the way, and the shards of snow that were wrapped in the wind and blown onto his face were cut like knives, but Shang Ruyi still didn't expect that the sky would get dark so quickly.

The dark clouds that hadn't dispersed all day seemed to have been summoned by something at this time, and they all accumulated on top of their heads, covering the entire sky tightly. Soon, the surroundings were so dark that you couldn't stretch your fingers out. Jiang Kesheng just A few people can light torches to illuminate the road ahead and around, but in this way, their forward speed has to be slowed down a bit.

It's already the beginning of the hour.

They passed through their own Zhuangzi an hour ago, and according to the distance, it would take more than an hour to reach Luoyang.

The closer they got to Luoyang, the heavier the hearts of everyone, and the more dignified the expressions on their faces.

Finally, at a corner, Jiang Kesheng rode up to Shang Ruyi's side and said in a deep voice, "Young Madam, we can't go any further."

Shang Ruyi frowned and looked at him, but the horse still sat on it.

"why?"

"According to our previous estimates, today is the day when Liang Shide attacks Luoyang. Although we are taking a small road, we can avoid their route, but the closer we get to Luoyang, the greater the chance we will meet them."

"..."

"We are short of manpower. Once we are caught in the battle, all the people here will die!"

Shang Ruyi's heart twitched, and she subconsciously pulled the reins.

The galloping speed of the steed immediately slowed down a bit, and all the people and horses behind them also slowed down. The surrounding torches illuminated the expressions on the faces of the two people, and also illuminated the seriousness in Shang Ruyi's eyes.

She hesitated for a moment, then said: "But Fengchen, you are still ahead."

Jiang Kesheng said: "Since the second son has made an agreement with the young lady, as long as we wait here, we should be able to wait for him to come."

Shang Ruyi frowned and said, "But I... I'm worried about him. He doesn't have many soldiers, but Liang Shide's [-] troops came here, and if he bumps into him, I'm afraid he will be in danger."

Jiang Kesheng said: "Young Madam, if we really bump into each other, we will not be able to help Second Young Master."

"..."

"Based on my subordinates' understanding of Second Young Master, he is not a reckless person, and he will never do useless things. As long as he wants to leave, Liang Shide's people will not be able to stop him. But in case he comes, If the young lady is in danger, it will be really troublesome."

Hearing what he said, Shang Ruyi finally reined in and stopped the horse.

Jiang Kesheng hastily raised his arm and waved at the people behind, and everyone stopped. When Shang Ruyi heard it clearly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously, they all have lingering fears about returning to the Eastern Capital, which may have been caught in the flames of war.

Shang Ruyi raised his head again and looked forward.

Of course, the Eastern Capital could not be seen from this place, and even the snowstorm made her unable to see clearly the scenery ten paces away, and the more her sight was blocked, the deeper the shadow in her heart became, almost making her breathless .

After contemplating for a long time, she finally said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Jiang Kesheng nodded, looked around again, and then pointed to a dirt slope in front of him: "Let's go there. It's leeward and has a wider view."

Shang Ruyi agreed, so they led the people forward, and after a while, they reached the bottom of the slope. After the horse was tied up, Jiang Kesheng immediately made a fire to keep her warm.

But when those people were still gathering firewood, they suddenly felt a slight tremor on the ground.

Just behind them, on the other side of the dirt slope, there was a heavy and hasty sound of horseshoes in the wind and snow. It was obvious that a large group of people were galloping towards them. The hurricane stirred up by these people swept the snow in the air. It became more messy.

Shang Ruyi was overjoyed, and hurried up the slope to look forward.

I saw a lot of flames ahead.

It was countless people holding torches and walking forward in the wind and snow, but just like before them, the flames were almost shrunk into a cluster by the wind, and could only illuminate a square inch distance, so they couldn't see clearly who the other party was. Who can only vaguely recognize that at least a team of nearly a thousand people is galloping towards them with rolling horseshoes and thunderous sound.

Is it Yu Wenye?
Shang Ruyi's heart jumped involuntarily, and her eyes widened. Even the cold snowflakes blowing into her eyes made her tears almost flow out, but she still opened her eyes wide expectantly.

Those people are getting closer.

Her vision was blurred by the wind, snow and tears, and she gradually became unclear, so she could only narrow her eyes slightly, but at this moment, Jiang Kesheng, who was following her, gasped, and said in a deep voice: "That's not right. , not from Second Young Master!"

"what?"

Shang Ruyi was startled, Jiang Kesheng frowned and looked ahead, and suddenly, his eyes widened.

"Then, it seems to be - someone from Liang Shide!"

Liang Shide's army! ?
Shang Ruyi couldn't believe it, they didn't avoid Liang Shide's men, how could they--

The people in front obviously also noticed their existence, and immediately rushed towards them, yelling, the sound of the wind and the sound of horseshoes, mixed with the sharp sound of swords being unsheathed, in an instant, those people had already rushed around them, killing them This group of people is surrounded!
"Young Madam, be careful!"

"Miss!"

"Quick, hurry up and lead the horse!"

Seeing that the people around were in chaos, Shang Ruyi calmed down. She grabbed Tusheer who was hugging her in a panic with one hand, and Jiang Kesheng's arm with the other, and looked up at the people surrounding them. , These people are all tall and strong, wearing uniform yellow-collared brown clothes, but without armor, but their actions are very uniform, obviously they are soldiers who have undergone strict training.

Liang Shide's men and horses have such a shape?
Shang Ruyi was flustered and awake for a while, as if she had noticed something, but the rolling horseshoes around and the loud shouts from those people kept interrupting her thoughts.

She could only say in a deep voice: "Don't move yet, let's see what they are going to do!"

These people had swords in their hands, but they didn't charge up immediately, instead they were looking at them as if they were identifying them.

After a while, someone said, "It seems not."

"Who are they?"

"Don't get sidetracked, we're just—"

"Hurry up and report!"

Then, they saw someone turning the horse's head and running back. The sound of the horse's hooves gradually faded away in the wind and snow, but after a while, the sound of the horse's hoofs sounded again, and more people were brought. The team was divided into two columns, and a rider came out from the middle and looked down at them.

And Shang Ruyi also raised his head in the wind and snow, looking at the person who was leaning over them.

The moment their eyes met, Shang Ruyi almost suffocated.
