Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 362

An hour later, the scorching sun was like fire, and the entire Yanyue City was exposed to the scorching sun without any cover. Even the green leaves on the treetops curled slightly, almost igniting fire.

However, in such hot weather, almost all the common people lined up and stood under the scorching sun.

Instead of complaining, they all smiled and looked forward with hope.

And in front of them was the gate of this small nameless temple.

A grain truck was parked under the big tree outside the door, and there was a wooden table under the tree. Mu Xian sat there with a few of his men, ripped the bags of grain from the truck, opened them , holding a wooden shovel to shovel out the grain from inside, the person at the front of the line immediately took out the rice bag and went up to take it, and then left happily.

Immediately afterwards, the next person was also delightedly waiting for the grain to enter his rice bag.

Mu Xian kept shouting: "The new emperor has ascended the throne and amnesty the world. The second son of Yuwen specially came to Yanyue City to supply rice for three days. No matter monks, laymen, young or old, everyone can take a bag of rice back. Don't crowd , don't fight, everyone has."

Everyone was very grateful and shouted Yu Wenye's name loudly again and again.

Even those monks said one after another: "When we go back, we must burn incense and pray for the second son of Yuwen every day, and pray for the second son's longevity and well-being, and turn disasters into good luck."

Mu Xian smiled and said, "Thank you all."

Listening to the bustling scene outside the wall and the voices of praise from everyone, Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, and then turned to look at the people around him: "Is this what you want to do?"

"..."

"You want to spend three days in Yanyue City Shimi?"

Also standing under the fence, listening to the movement outside with his hands behind his back, Yu Wenye had a calm and indifferent expression on his face, as if everyone was not praising him.He just nodded lightly: "Yeah."

Shang Ruyi looked at him with flickering eyes.

She seemed to want to say something, but she hesitated for a while and still didn't speak, but Shen Wuzheng, who was standing beside her, also listened to the movement outside, and after a while, said calmly: "This time, you moved very quickly."

Yu Wenye looked at him, and said with a half-smile: "You can't always worry about things here."

The two looked at each other.

Although he didn't say a word and there was no unpleasant atmosphere, Shang Ruyi still seemed to read something sharp in the eyes of the two of them.

She felt that the atmosphere between these two people was a little strange.

Before, Yu Wenye had just thought that Shen Wuzheng had already done it when he used Zuo Gong's suspected tomb to cause people in Wanggangzhai to kill each other. He obviously lost half a step; but this time, in Yanyue City, Shi Mi, Yu Wen However, Ye arranged it in advance and won another half step against Shen Wuzheng.

This seems to be a feeling that is obviously not hostile, but it can not help but imply hostility.

Feeling a little pain in the head, Shang Ruyi reached out and stroked his forehead subconsciously.

Shen Wuzheng immediately said: "Little sister, are you uncomfortable?"

Yu Wenye also looked down at her, frowned slightly, and said, "Is it too hot to stand here? Your body is already weak, so go back and rest."

Shang Ruyi looked up at them, but shook his head.

She only said: "You didn't do this for the simple purpose of buying people's hearts, did you?"

Yu Wenye twitched the corner of his lips.

Shang Ruyi said: "Or for Wang Gangzhai?"

Yu Wenye nodded slightly.

Shang Ruyi said: "But, hasn't our goal been achieved?"

Although Yu Wenye and Shen Wuzheng went up the mountain and only brought back one good boy, judging from the current situation, among the nine masters of Wang Gangzhai, Shen Wuzheng killed two of them by tricks, and the brothers Wang Quyi and Wang Quren died. Under Xiao Yuansui's hands, Shan Tong'er also left Wanggang Village, it can be said that most of Wanggang Village's elite strength has gone.

And their trip up the mountain yesterday was not just as simple as bringing back a Nine Masters.

Shang Ruyi listened to what they said on the mountain recounted by Shantong'er - from Xiao Yuansui's point of view, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were "sinister". It was the invisible gunpowder that was planted in the hearts of the people in the village, and the fuse had already been lit.

Shang Ruyi was almost certain that they didn't have to go to Wanggang Village again, only from the fact that Xiao Yuansui didn't come down the mountain to trouble them. There will be a bigger split.

Their goal of taking down Wanggang Village has almost been achieved.

It turned out to be just a matter of time.

Why did they transport so much grain from Xingluo warehouse to distribute rice in Yanyue City?
Yu Wenye glanced at her, but did not speak, but Shen Wuzheng looked at her with a smile, and asked: "Little sister, let me ask you, what do you think is the most important thing in this troubled world."

Shang Ruyi was startled, and looked up at him.

In her ears, a familiar voice seemed to have sounded, and she said in a helpless tone: In such a troubled world, a little soldier in hand is what we need to survive...

That was the last word Lei Yu said to her before leaving Luoyang.

Shang Ruyi said softly: "Soldiers and horses?"

"good,"

Speaking of this, Shen Wuzheng turned his head to look at Yu Wenye again, and then said: "Although the things we did before have already distracted Wang Gangzhai, and I can conclude that they will be torn apart in a short time. But torn apart And after that?"

"...?"

Shang Ruyi frowned.

She looked at Shen Wuzheng, and then at Yu Wenye, only to see Yu Wenye also said: "In troubled times, people's hearts are naturally important, but soldiers and horses that can be held in their hands are equally important."

"..."

"In this chaotic situation, whoever has more soldiers under his command will have a greater chance of winning."

"..."

"I don't want this group of people in Wanggangzhai to be scattered outside."

Shang Ruyi understood a little bit.

However, when she glanced outside just now, most of the people who came were monks from Yanyue City, and most of the people were old and weak, women and children, and she didn't see too many young and middle-aged people.

She asked: "The people in Wanggangzhai have fought against you before, will they come?"

Yu Wenye and Shen Wuzheng looked at each other.

After a long silence, he said: "We have already done this, and the rest will be the same as before, just wait for the result."

Shang Ruyi wanted to say something, but at this moment, Tusheer walked over from the side and said to them, "The meal is ready."

When everyone looked up, they realized that it was already noon.

No wonder the sun is so hot.

Yu Wenye said: "Let's go eat first, what to say, let's talk in the past."

Everyone nodded, and then walked to the nearby dining hall, and when Shang Ruyi left, she couldn't help but look back, although it was already noon, the sun was hanging in the air like a fireball, making everyone sweat The flow continued, but they still looked eagerly at the mountain of grain bags in front of them. The hope in their eyes made people feel a little bit of sadness.

Eat enough, these simple words are so difficult in such troubled times.

Silently walked to the dining hall, the other monks had already finished their lunch, and the table of meals specially set out for them was still steaming hot, with a few more dishes than usual, moreover, as soon as Shang Ruyi sat down, A bowl of tenderly stewed egg custard was placed in front of her.

Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Tu Sheer, Tu Sheer smiled at her, didn't speak, just glanced at Yu Wenye on the other side.

Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.

Yu Wenye sat beside her calmly, picked up the bowl and chopsticks.

"..."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, and finally picked up the bowl of egg custard silently, and started to eat it spoonful by spoonful. The stewed eggs were very tender and very fragrant, which was very difficult for her who had been a vegetarian for several days. , It is indeed a rare nourishment.

Then, she seemed to see the corners of the mouths of the people around her twitch slightly.

Shen Wuzheng who was sitting opposite looked at them, his eyes flickered, but he didn't say a word, he just ate his own food quietly.

After a while, a meal was finished silently.

As soon as he put down the bowls and chopsticks, Mu Xian came over to report to Yu Wenye: "Second Young Master, our people found some unfamiliar faces at the gate of Yanyue City. They seem to have heard that Shi Mi is in the city, so come and watch."

Yu Wenye slightly raised his eyebrows: "Are you from Wang Gangzhai?"

Mu Xiandao: "They are all young and middle-aged, they look like them."

"Have you entered the city yet?"

"No, they were very cautious and left after watching for a while."

"..."

Yu Wenye thought for a while, then waved his hand: "Don't disturb them, wait for another two days and see the result."

Mu Xian took the order, turned around and went down.

Shang Ruyi's eyes lit up when she heard the news, but after thinking about it for a while, she still said worriedly: "Xiao Yuansui, is there really no way to appease the hearts of the people in Wanggang Village?"

Yu Wenye shook his head silently.

Shen Wuzheng also said: "He can't do it."

Shang Ruyi became more and more puzzled - as for matters of the human heart, all they could do was speculate, but this time, both of them seemed to be very sure.

"Why?" she asked.

Shen Wuzheng said: "He killed Wang Quyi, this is a knot."

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, and said, "However, Wang Quyi was suspicious of him, and might even attack him after he returned to Wanggang village. He really fought back when he had to."

Yu Wenye shook his head and said, "This is different."

"..."

"At the beginning, he had nowhere to go and was living in the rivers and lakes. It was Wang Quyi who took him in and promoted him to be the second leader of Wanggangzhai. No matter how much quarrels there were between the two people afterwards, Wang Quyi was kind to him. , and it is a great kindness, this is a certain fact."

"..."

"But now, he killed Wang Quyi in front of so many people, which is ungrateful."

"..."

"Even Wang Quyi can kill, who else can't he?"

"..."

"This time when we went up the mountain, Xiao Yuansui and I only managed to move Shan Tong'er, but Shen Tutai didn't even show up. This is evident. Not to mention the group of people who were loyal to Wang Quyi, even those who had been following him before I'm afraid that people who have done this will feel bad about what he did this time."

"..."

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.

After a long silence, she said softly, "The him now seems to be different from the one before."

Yu Wenye's eyes turned cold.

He didn't seem to want to answer the question, so he took a sip of tea from the teacup beside him, but when he looked back and saw Shang Ruyi still had a serious expression on his face, his brows frowned slowly.After a while, he said indifferently: "How many times have you met him, do you know him that well?"

Shang Ruyi looked up at him and said, "Although I have only met him twice, I have a deep impression on him."

"Oh?"

"When we met for the first time, although he was in a mess, he was very open-minded. It was obvious that he was a man who could accomplish great things; but the second time when I was in Xingluo Cang——he even sent someone to arrest me in Cangcheng. Moreover, his behavior has begun to be a little extreme, especially in the attitude towards Wang Quyi's people."

"..."

"This time, he killed Wang Quyi directly at the gate of Wanggangzhai. It can be seen that he was more extreme than last time, and his methods were more vicious."

"..."

Yu Wenye turned his face to one side, as if he didn't want to pay attention.

Shen Wuzheng, who had been silent all the time, said at this time: "When a person is in a weak position, he will soften his body and give himself more chances to survive; but, if he gains power and stands on a high place, he can manipulate other people's lives and lives. Only then will true humanity emerge.”

Shang Ruyi looked up at him.

Shen Wuzheng looked into her eyes, and said word by word: "Maybe, this is the real him."

"..."

Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.

At this time, she suddenly remembered that when she was arrested in Xingluo Cangcheng, during the time she spent with Xiao Yuansui, she had talked about his confidante——Luxiao.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little ominous.

Seeing her frowning slightly, although Yu Wenye was a little impatient, he still couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing,"

Shang Ruyi shook her head, feeling that it was a bit inexplicable for her to think of those things at this moment. After all, Lu Xiao is still by Wang Shaoji's side and has nothing to do with what happened here.

She thought about it again, then looked up at the two men in front of her.

"If it were you, in his position, how would you choose?"

"..."

"You guys, will you kill the king to get Yi?"

"..."

Yu Wenye and Shen Wuzheng were startled at the same time, and also looked at each other.

After a long silence, Yu Wenye chuckled.

Shang Ruyi said, "What are you laughing at?"

Shen Wuzheng on the side also smiled faintly, but still looked at Shang Ruyi tenderly in his eyes, and said: "It may be a bit sarcastic to say so, but I, - and him, we should not let ourselves fall into this situation."

"..."

"As a bystander, there are many ways to solve the problem between him and Wang Quyi, but it requires patience or some price. But Xiao Yuansui obviously doesn't have this patience, and he doesn't want to pay any more. If this problem is solved roughly, it will naturally leave endless troubles.”

"..."

"It can be said that he chose a bad move."

Yu Wenye on the side said leisurely: "Who do you think is the one who will choose the worst plan?"
