Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 289 Maybe, There's Still Love
Bending down to face her was a beautiful face that was almost sharp. She was wearing the same black-collared brown clothes as the people around her, except for a thick windcloak. At this moment, she was flying against the wind, which also excited her to tie her clothes. The black hair at the back of her head fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of sharpness to her beauty.

She looked at Shang Ruyi, her big deep and sharp eyes widened, and she seemed to be unable to believe her own eyes.

After a while, she said in a deep voice, "Shang Ruyi?"

And Shang Ruyi, who had been looking up at her all this time, finally believed his eyes when he heard that familiar voice call out his name.

Shang Ruyi said softly: "Lei... Yu..."

She was leading a team of nearly a thousand people in front of her. It was none other than the eldest lady of the Lei family who was leading a team of nearly a thousand people in the wind and snow. A few months ago, she followed her father Lei Yi to Hebei to quell the rebellion, but eventually betrayed the court and took refuge in Liang Shide's Lei Yu!

Shang Ruyi felt his whole body cool down, and the howling north wind blew across his face like a knife, and he didn't even feel any pain.

The two looked at each other silently for a long time.

The expression on Lei Yu's face changed again and again, but she didn't say anything, but waved her hand. When the people behind saw her gesture, they immediately ordered the surrounding people to stand by, and she had already rolled over and got off the horse. Walking in front of Shang Ruyi, he frowned and said, "You, why are you here?"

Shang Ruyi also looked at her, and said hoarsely, "Why are you here?"

"..."

"..."

There was another silence between the two of them.

After a while, it was Lei Yu who spoke first, and she said: "Liang Shide's troops are attacking—no, they must have taken Dongdu. I was ordered to lead the troops here to stop the troops sent by Dongdu for help."

Shang Ruyi's voice became even hoarse: "Ask for help?"

"Yes."

"Dongdu, who else can I ask for help...?"

Hearing this, Lei Yu frowned, but she quickly said: "The emperor left the Eastern Capital, he abandoned the entire north, and the people around him knew the result a long time ago. In terms of interests, they really don't care Will send another team to rescue. After all—"

When she said this, she subconsciously hesitated.

But Shang Ruyi then said softly: "After all, the soldiers and horses in our hands are what we need to survive in this troubled world."

Lei Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

She probably didn't expect that Shang Ruyi would always remember this sentence, and even said it at this time, but she didn't know whose heart it hurt.But she still nodded, and then said: "However, having said that, it cannot be generalized."

"..."

"After all, apart from profit and survival, there are loyalty, filial piety, and..."

"What else?"

Lei Yu was silent for a while, then said, "Maybe, there is still love."

"……Affection?"

"Yes, these are things that can make people give up their interests, give up their survival, and even give up their lives."

Shang Ruyi looked at her beautiful and resolute face. Although she had already been frozen and almost expressionless in such a snowstorm, she could still discern a faint trace of sadness, but she didn't know whether this sadness was for herself or not. for something else.

Shang Ruyi only nodded, and said softly: "You are right."

She thought for a while, then suddenly said: "However, you said, Liang Shide's men have already taken the Eastern Capital?"

Lei Yu nodded.

Shang Ruyi frowned: "Why are you so sure? Even if you and Lei—you are familiar with the city defense and control of the Eastern Capital, the Eastern Capital city is so strong that even if there are not many people left behind, it will not be destroyed in such a short period of time." Liang Shide took it."

Lei Yu looked at her with a strange light in his eyes.

She said: "There are internal responses in the city."

"what?!"

Shang Ruyi was startled, and after thinking about it again, she suddenly understood: "Yes, it was you who sent people into the city in advance—"

Lei Yu said: "They sent people into the city in advance, but not our people."

"Who is that?"

"Wang Gangzhai, Xiao Yuansui's people."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi gasped.

Xiao Yuansui, this person again, this name again!

Sure enough, he is not a simple character.

Only at this time did she understand why the people in the city had left Luoyang one after another when the emperor decided to go south and abandon the Eastern Capital when Hebei fell, but so many people entered the Eastern Capital inexplicably. some strong men.

It turned out that it was Wang Gangzhai, Xiao Yuansui's people!
They hooked up with Liang Shide's men. Since they wanted to attack Luoyang, they had to achieve the greatest results with the least sacrifices. The best way was to send troops to the Eastern Capital to hibernate in advance. When the emperor left, Liang Shide's army arrived. People immediately greeted them in the city, and it would be almost effortless to win the Eastern Capital.

Shang Ruyi gave a wry smile.

Fortunately, she had sworn to Tusheer and the others before that the Eastern Capital City was strong and the grain was sufficient, and that Liang Shide's men were nothing more than a mob, not qualified to take the Eastern Capital. Now——

The biting cold wind rolled a ball of snow the size of an egg, and it slapped her face.

It was as if he had been hit hard.

Shang Ruyi's face was full of pain and cold, but at this moment she couldn't care about it, she just felt uneasy in her heart, and even ominous surged up one after another, almost suffocating her.

At this time, she heard Lei Yu's voice ringing in her ears again, as if it came from far away——

"Shang Ruyi, why are you here?"

"..."

"Where's Fengchen? He's not with you?"

"..."

"You guys, why aren't you in the Eastern Capital?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi raised her numb face to look at her, was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "He, he was ordered to attack Wanggang village."

"Oh?"

Lei Yu raised his eyebrows, and a strange look appeared on his face.

Immediately asked again: "Then you—"

Shang Ruyi said: "Your Majesty went south to Jiangdu Palace to take me and us all away. I didn't want to go, so I ran out secretly."

"Oh……"

Lei Yu nodded lightly, as if recalling what happened in Yanmen County, then looked at Shang Ruyi's pale face and panicked eyes, and said lightly: "You are doing the right thing. If it is true Follow him to the south, and you don't know what kind of situation you will face."

Shang Ruyi said: "Staying in Dongdu may not be good."

When Lei Yu heard the words, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Do you want to say that if you stay in Dongdu, you will become a dead soul under the sword tonight?"

Shang Ruyi said, "A sword has no eyes."

"..."

Lei Yu stared at her in silence for a while, then suddenly smiled ironically, and said, "You don't have to belittle yourself. No matter what happens tonight, even if Ziwei Palace is demolished, no one will touch your Yuwen family." Kazuki."

"...!?"

Shang Ruyi was startled, then raised her head to look at her, and suddenly understood what she said, she felt that what she said just now seemed too sharp, and she and Lei Yu really wouldn't have fallen to this point.

So he said softly: "I know, you have always been to us—"

Lei Yu said, "It's not just us."

"Ok?"

Shang Ruyi was startled again, and looked up at her—what do you mean?
Lei Yu also looked down at her, with a complicated light in his eyes, and said: "Before I dispatched the troops, I made a request to them. No matter what, after the army enters the Eastern Capital, they cannot harass your home. Originally, this message was to spread It was for the group of people lurking into the Eastern Capital, but when our news spread, their news came first."

"..."

"They demand that after Liang Shide's army enters the Eastern Capital, they can do whatever they want, but they cannot move Yuwen's family."

"..."

"Especially, don't touch Mrs. Yuwen Shao."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi froze there and lost his response for a while.

The people in Wang Gangzhai suggested to Liang Shide that the Yuwen family should not be disturbed, especially, they should not disturb themselves?

Although her limbs were already numb from the cold, her mind was spinning very fast at this time, and it was almost immediately clear that Xiao Yuansui was the only person she could relate to in Wanggangzhai, at least when she entered Xingxing alone. When he was in Luocang, he was very polite to himself and never hurt himself from the beginning to the end.

He said this?

Lei Yu said: "It seems that your relationship with Wang Gangzhai is extraordinary."

Shang Ruyi was still speechless.

Lei Yu looked at her with more serious eyes, hesitated for a long time, and then said softly: "Shang Ruyi, you—"

Before she finished speaking, suddenly, both of them seemed to sense something, and they all turned their heads to look ahead of the road, and the people who followed them became vigilant.

In the vast night and snowstorm, it seemed that there was another person galloping towards them.

Lei Yu was much more vigilant than others, and immediately raised his hand, everyone behind him became alert, and some even drew their swords. The pale and cold light directly hurt people's eyes in such a dark night.

But at this time, Jiang Kesheng took the lead and said, "It seems to be one of us!"

"...!"

"...!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi's face immediately revealed a pleasant expression, and hurriedly turned to go forward. Sure enough, she saw a group of people galloping out of the wind and snow, and reflected the surrounding firelight, she recognized it at a glance. It was Mu Xian who rode first!

Here they come!

Shang Ruyi smiled happily, went forward and said loudly, "Mu Xian!"

Mu Xian and the others probably didn't expect that there would be so many people here, and they were also taken aback, but at this moment they saw Shang Ruyi, and they were relieved to some extent, and hurriedly galloped towards Shang Ruyi, waiting in front of Shang Ruyi, Immediately turned over and got off the horse: "Young Madam—Miss Lei?"

Lei Yu looked at him and just nodded silently.

Mu Xian's complexion changed suddenly, and he looked at the people behind her, and immediately understood what was going on. He was silent for a while, and could only nod his head, and didn't say much.

In just a moment, the people following him rushed up one after another.

Although the people on both sides met, there was somewhat inexplicable hostility, but because the leader did not speak or make a move at the meeting, so although the people below were nervous, they were all suppressed, and there was a kind of anger in the snowstorm. The tense atmosphere.

But at this time, no matter how tense the atmosphere was, it couldn't affect Shang Ruyi.

She said happily: "You are finally here. I was still worried that something would happen to Dongdu, and you would have accidents."

Mu Xian took a look at Lei Yu, and said with a complicated expression: "Dongdu—something happened indeed. The people in Wanggangzhai cooperated with Liang Shide's army. Now, Dongdu City has fallen into the hands of Liang Shide, and the defenders have already... "

He couldn't say what happened next.

On Lei Yu's face, there was also a complicated expression, like joy, but also like some conflicted pulling.

Shang Ruyi's heart sank even more.

Although Lei Yu told her everything just now, she still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when she heard the news from Mu Xian's mouth. What made her feel even more disturbed was that the Eastern Capital City fell so quickly, and the New Moon Princess , and Empress Jiang?

more importantly--

She raised her head to look at Mu Xian, and then looked around, but she couldn't find Yu Wenye!
What about others?
Seeming to know who she was looking for, Mu Xian's eyes flickered at this moment, Shang Ruyi immediately frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Feng Chen?"

"..."

"What about others?"

Mu Xian didn't speak immediately, but looked back subconsciously.

Shang Ruyi was overjoyed again, and hastily raised his head to look towards the wind and snow. Mu Xian led a large group of people, except for the group following him, there was another large group of people behind him. Like a dark cloud pressing towards them, Lei Yu's men became more and more uneasy.

But the next moment, everyone fell silent.

Because in the wind and snow, a man and a horse ran over under the protection of everyone, and the slender figure on the horse gradually became clear in the eyes of everyone, getting closer and closer, and they could clearly see that it was a man in red wind. Cloak, although she looks panic-stricken, she is a girl with a beautiful appearance and an overwhelming beauty.

Her appearance, like a delicate flower suddenly blooming in a storm, made people's hearts tremble.

Shang Ruyi suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Then, it was Chu Ruoyan, Princess of the New Moon!
She obviously didn't expect to see so many people here, she looked at the people around tremblingly, and when she saw Shang Ruyi, she immediately said as if she had found support: "Young Madam!"

"male--"

The words Your Royal Highness almost blurted out, but Shang Ruyi's mind flashed, and she immediately changed her words: "You, here you are."

Lei Yu, who was standing beside her, was obviously out of breath.

However, she didn't say anything, and even turned her head lightly, signaling the people behind her not to act rashly. When those people saw such a charming and charming woman, their murderous aura calmed down.

And closely following Princess Xinyue, there was a cavalry, but it was one of Mu Xian's subordinates, holding an eight or nine-year-old child in his arms, it was King Zhao Chu Chengfei.

During this journey, he was obviously also frightened. Until now, his face is still pale and he can't say a word.

But at this time, Shang Ruyi had already understood.

Yu Wenye led Mu Xian and the others to rush back from Xingluocang. The time should coincide with Liang Shide's attack on Luoyang City. They picked up the princess and King Zhao and took them on the road together.

but--

She looked around again, and there were more and more people coming, but there was still no familiar figure in the crowd. On the contrary, the expression on Mu Xian's face became more complicated and weird, as if he was hiding something, or as if he was afraid she would ask something. .

Shang Ruyi only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and her heart beat intermittently.

She asked, "What about the others?"

"..."

"Say it!"

Mu Xian struggled for a long time, and finally whispered in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Second Young Master, he went to chase after the empress..."
