Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 371 What a complicated relationship
In the next three days, just as Yu Wenye said, they started a rapid march.

The rapid march was different from the ordinary march. Everyone was traveling lightly and at full speed. They lost their excess luggage. Even Shang Ruyi got off the carriage, rode on horseback, and climbed the mountain together with the crowd in the scorching sun. Wading, galloping horses.

Shen Wuzheng and Tusheer were very worried, but Shang Ruyi, who had been running like this for three days, was tired, but her spirit was much better.

Although the miscarriage hurts the body, the fetus is not very old, and, after all, it is young and its body is in good condition. It has recovered a lot after resting on the boat for a while, but now that it moves, Shang Ruyi feels as if she has come back to life.

Seeing that even the Duke of the State—now the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister should be said to be like this, some people who were complaining to the sky gradually shut up. After passing the test, they are determined, and their marching ability is obviously much higher than that of ordinary people.

And Yu Wenye's hasty march was not just to test them.

Because after leaving Yanyue City, they entered Liang Shide's sphere of influence. Although they chose a small path to avoid the large group of troops, they still encountered two groups of troops from the other side.

It's just that these two groups of people are not the main force. When they met the first team, they chose to take a detour to avoid a direct confrontation with the opponent; People, Yu Wenye felt that the other party was unwilling to fight, and even saw that the carriages in their team did not charge over, so he simply led the troops to charge over, and did not encounter too much obstruction, so he just passed.

Afterwards, he did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and Liang Shide's men did not pursue him either.

On the fourth day, it began to drizzle.

Although marching in the rain was not easy, no one complained about it. On the contrary, everyone who was almost dehydrated and passed out after being exposed to the scorching sun for several days breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone was wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats, and they still walked forward in the rain.

And Shang Ruyi, urged by Tusheer with a black face, was forced to return to the carriage.

In order to accompany her, Yu Wenye also sat in the carriage, and Shang Ruyi said a little worriedly: "Will you take the carriage to dissatisfy the people below—especially those people in Wanggangzhai?"

Yu Wenye had a smile on his face, but he didn't speak immediately, but made a small gesture to her.

Shang Ruyi was startled, and immediately shut her mouth tightly.

In the past two days, they have also fully experienced the power of Nie Chong's "Shunfeng Ear". Indeed, as Shantong'er said, this person can hear everything, even if the surrounding is noisy, he can accurately hear one of them whispering. content of the spoken word.

Even, the first time he met Liang Shide's men, he was the one who heard the sound of the other's hoofbeats long in advance, so that they were prepared before they made a detour to avoid the other party.

So now, everyone speaks cautiously and guards against him.

Seeing Shang Ruyi's vigilant look, Yu Wenye smiled again, and then said softly: "Those who are really dissatisfied have already left in the past three days. Besides, as I said, there is only three days of rapid march, and they have passed Liang Shide in Luoyang." The sphere of influence, there is no need to go so hastily."

"Oh."

Shang Ruyi heard the words, raised the curtain to look at the rain outside, then looked back at him and said softly, "Have we passed Luoyang now?"

In order to avoid Liang Shide's main force, they took a long detour, and she was not familiar with the surrounding environment.

Yu Wenye said: "After crossing the Yihe River in front, it is almost considered to have left the boundary of the Eastern Capital, but the small road we took, after crossing the river, there is still a mountain road to go."

Shang Ruyi let out a long breath of relief.

She said: "I didn't expect Liang Shide's men to not keep up with us."

Yu Wenye raised a corner of the curtain and glanced back. Behind him were only their troops walking silently in the rain. He thought for a while and said, "It's not that they didn't keep up."

"Ok?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback for a moment, then met his deep eyes, and suddenly understood what was going on, and said, "You mean, he doesn't want to follow?"

Yu Wenye said: "Such a big incident happened in Wang Gangzhai, he and Xiao Yuansui are allies, it is impossible not to care about it at all, and it is impossible to find out any news."

"..."

"Now that Wang Gangzhai's power has been weakened by more than half, he has to reconsider his relationship with us."

"..."

"and--"

"And what?"

Yu Wenye looked down at her, and said: "Besides, when I asked Cheng Qiao to transport grain to Xingluo warehouse a few days ago, I also let them spread some news, among them - brothers Wang Shaoji and Wang Shaoqiu Going north."

"...!?"

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately showed a look of astonishment, and in his widened eyes, there was unconsciously a hint of panic and fear.

Even though it has been a few months, and she is far away from Jiangdu Palace, what happened there still haunts her like a nightmare. Usually, even a dream in a light sleep, or even a casual word, will lead her back into the darkness Yes, like a night engulfed in a sea of ​​blood.

What's more, he mentioned the name Wang Shaoji.

Even if this person is not the cause of everything, he is also the existence that caused her pain in this nightmare.

Seeing Shang Ruyi's face suddenly pale, Yu Wenye frowned, stretched out his hand to support her shoulder, as if he wanted to say something to comfort her, but at this time, he couldn't say anything.

But Shang Ruyi, she took a deep breath to calm herself down.

When she looked up at Yu Wenye again, she forced a smile to indicate that she was fine, and then said: "It's really uncomfortable to hear the name of someone you hate."

"..."

Yu Wenye looked at her, was silent for a while, and said "Mmm".

Shang Ruyi said again: "However, why did you ask people to spread this rumor?"

Yu Wenye said: "It's a rumor, but it's not really a rumor, it's just a sign. Based on my guess, it's impossible for Wang Shaoji to stay in Jiangdu for too long. He will definitely go north."

"why?"

"He is a northerner. His family background, all forces, and connections are all in the north. Going to Jiangdu is all unfamiliar to him, and it is even more difficult to deal with the relationship with the southern clan; what's more, even if he wants to stay Jiangdu, all the imperial guards under him are from the north, including the army brought down by parade, these people are homesick, and it is impossible for them to stay there forever."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi nodded lightly: "Yes, I heard about it before..."

She didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Yu Wenye also understood.

The officers and soldiers of the imperial guards stationed in Jiangdu Palace were different from the guards in the old palace. They were looking forward to returning to the north day and night. Now that the emperor was in heaven, and there was no order on their heads, they would definitely ask to go north.

She thought for a while, and then said: "You spread this rumor to let Liang Shide hear it?"

"Ah."

"why?"

Yu Wenye looked down at her, and said, "If brothers Wang Shaoji and Wang Shaoqiu come back, tell me where they will go with tens of thousands of people."

Shang Ruyi had fully understood at this moment, and said, "Dongdu! He will go back to Dongdu!"

"..."

"The Eastern Capital has already been occupied by Liang Shide, so there is a high possibility that they will confront each other!"

"good,"

Yu Wenye said: "Nowadays, the power of Wang Gangzhai has been greatly reduced, and Wang Shaoji may face Wang Shaoji leading hundreds of thousands of troops back to the city. This is the biggest crisis facing Liang Shide. If he touches me now, my father will definitely Lead the army eastward to avenge me, in this way, Liang Shide will be attacked on both sides."

"..."

"So, this time he didn't send an army to chase us, he should have his own considerations."

Shang Ruyi nodded, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "It's such a complicated relationship."

"..."

"I thought that we would confront them when we came here, but I didn't expect that Wang Shaoji's move would have an impact on our actions."

Yu Wenye said: "Nowadays the world is in chaos, and all parties are fighting together. It is very important to unite vertically and horizontally. Even if you can't unite with other forces, you must be good at using the forces of all parties to balance the relationship in order to find your own vitality."

Shang Ruyi glanced at him, nodded and said, "En."

While speaking, amidst the rain curtain and the sound of horseshoes ahead, there was the original sound of the river gurgling.

Yihe has arrived.

Shang Ruyi hurriedly lifted up a corner of the curtain and looked out. A river running from north to south lay before their eyes. The river was wide and the water was muddy. Although the rain was a little lighter than before, the river was still rushing after half a day of rain. The wind blows the waves from time to time and slaps them on the shore, stirring up water splashes half the height of a person, frightening the horses near the river bank to neigh.

Fortunately, there is a wide stone bridge on the river, which can be crossed.

The people in front got off their horses, led their horses and led the team to cross the stone bridge one after another. It was their turn, because the stone bridge was not too wide, it was only big enough for a carriage to pass, and they were worried that the cart would overturn. Because of the danger, Shang Ruyi and Yu Wenye were asked to get out of the carriage first, and they would pass after the carriage passed.

So Shang Ruyi got out of the carriage.

As soon as she stood still, the misty drizzle fell on her, and she felt a sudden chill.

Shang Ruyi reached out and hugged his arm subconsciously.

Just then, an umbrella was propped above his head.

Shang Ruyi looked up, only to realize that it was Yu Wenye, who held an umbrella and pulled her to his side.

Immediately, the drizzle was blocked out, and only heard the small sound of raindrops falling on the oil-paper umbrella above the head, suddenly far and near, like a lover whispering in the ear.

For some reason, it was obvious that the drizzle just fell on her head and face, and she felt a little chilly, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a little hot again.

Not only was his body hot, but his face also felt a little hot unconsciously.

It seemed that it was the body temperature of Yu Wenye, the two of them were too close to each other, and Shang Ruyi subconsciously took a step to the side.

But as soon as Yu Wenye stretched out his hand, he pulled her back to his side.
