Noble First Daughter-in-law

Previously, Mu Xian estimated that he would leave the day after tomorrow at the latest, but he did not expect that the battle was urgent. On that night, several battle reports were sent back from the front. Xue Xian's vanguard army had already approached Fufeng, and Yu Wenye was ready. At noon the next day, they officially set off.

Yu Wenyuan stood at the door with Yu Wenjian and saw them off in person.

When Yu Wenye turned over and sat on the horseback, Yu Wenzhen had already walked up to him and looked up at him: "Feng Chen, although the elder brother was worried about your expedition this time, since you are about to set off, the elder brother will not go any further." Talk about other things. I just hope you hit the ground running this time."

Yu Wenye said: "Thank you, big brother."

Yu Wenjian said again: "Also, take care of yourself."

"..."

Yu Wenye's eyes flickered, but he still smiled and said, "Yes."

After saying these words, Yu Wenzhen glanced at him again—this trip was a march, and naturally there was no such thing as a comfortable carriage. Shang Ruyi was wearing a neat and tight-fitting clothes and rode on horseback with Yu Wenye. In parallel, the hair is also tied up high, there is no hairpin, and no makeup is applied, but it adds a bit of sassy attitude.

There seemed to be a slight ripple in those blue-gray eyes, but Yu Wenzhen didn't say anything, just nodded lightly, and Shang Ruyi only nodded as a signal.

Yu Wenjian backed away.

At this time, Yu Wenyuan, who had been standing on the steps with his hands behind his back, walked down slowly, walked to the side of the horse, and looked at Yu Wenye with a solemn expression.

Although he knew his son's ability, but after all, he was facing Xue Xian. As a father, he still had some uneasiness and worry in his eyes, but he didn't express it in words. Armor, the heroic second son, then said: "Xue Xian is brave and resourceful. He is not a person who only knows how to fight tough battles. When you send troops this time, you must keep this in mind."

Yu Wenye said seriously: "Yes!"

Yu Wenyuan nodded, then took a step back and stood back on the steps without saying anything.

At this moment, Shang Ruyi felt her body sinking, and when she looked down, it was Tusheer standing in front of the horse with red eyes, holding her hand by the hem of her clothes, muttering, "Miss..."

Shang Ruyi leaned down and said softly: "Didn't I explain it to you last night, why are you still acting like this?"

"..."

"Today is sending troops, you can't cry and cry, it's unlucky."

Hearing this, although she felt sad and even more reluctant, Tusheer swallowed back her tears abruptly, and then looked back at Ly Xue who was following Shang Ruyi, who still had some scars on his face and looked very haggard. ——Last night, when Shang Ruyi told her about her arrangement, Tusheer was so anxious that she almost forgot the rules of master and servant and quarreled with her. In the end, Shang Ruyi took out the master's money to convince her. She had no choice. She could only let Shang Ruyi promise again and again that she would not let Wo Xue plot again, and she went to find Mu Xian herself, asking him to help guard against Wo Xue in the army, so she reluctantly let go.

Even so, she still gave Wo Xue a hard look, and said in a low voice: "Miss, you must take good care of yourself, and don't be tricked by her. The servant will also—"

Shang Ruyi glanced at her.

Tushe'er could only swallow the latter words again, and Wo Xue also glanced at her at this time, as if she knew what she was guarding against in her heart, she didn't say much, just lowered her head silently.

At this time, it was time to set off.

Yu Wenye glanced back and forth, and the soldiers and generals accompanying him were all lined up, so he raised his hand high and raised his hand, and immediately the whole team moved forward, Tusheer was dragged back to the door by Chang Wan , could only watch with reluctance as this team left the Duke's Mansion and disappeared under the scorching sun.

This walk took two days.

Because of the tense battle ahead, they marched quickly, and only took two short rests in the middle. On the second night, Yu Wenye simply marched overnight, taking advantage of the darkness to continue advancing.

Shang Ruyi knew that he planned to rush to Fufeng before dawn.

However, walking like this for two days exhausted their physical strength. Even if the night was not exposed to the scorching sun during the day, when the torches were held high to illuminate the road ahead, the flames would still scorch the people around them, especially those wearing heavy armor. He was so hot that he was sweating profusely. Shang Ruyi was worried that he would suffer from heat stroke, so he gave Mu Xian some instructions in a low voice, and Mu Xian immediately picked up the water bag and wanted to hand it to Yu Wenye.

As soon as he picked it up, he realized that his water bladder was empty.

Yu Wenye has been hot and sweaty since he was a child, especially as a martial arts practitioner. In summer, the sweat on his body is like flowing rivers. After a day of training in the army, the sweat on his clothes can wring out water. Of course, such a person He is strong, but he is also prone to heatstroke in summer, and it is even more troublesome if he is on the march.

Therefore, Mu Xian also hesitated whether to persuade him to stop, rest, and drink some water.

At this moment, Yu Wenye suddenly raised his hand: "Stop!"

Upon hearing his order, the troops who were marching at full speed stopped immediately, and Yu Wenye sent an order: "Rest in place."

After walking for a whole day, everyone was indeed a little tired. Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Some dismounted from their horses, some sat on the ground, and everyone took out water and dry food and began to eat in big mouthfuls.

Shang Ruyi also got off the horse.

Although she was barely good at riding and shooting, after two days of jolting on horseback, her back hurt badly, and the inner thighs were worn down to the point of tearing. As soon as she landed, her feet went limp and she almost fell down.

She hastily grasped the rein, barely supporting herself to stand still.

Turning around again, I saw Yu Wenye on one side also jumped off the back of the tall, jet-black horse, holding the rein with one hand, and took a handkerchief from the side with the other to wipe the sweat from his forehead and neck. She looked like she almost fell, but she didn't come to help her.

And Shang Ruyi also raised his head and met his gaze calmly.

Yu Wenye seemed to be smiling.

However, before the two of them had time to say anything, a few people had already gathered around Yu Wenye. One of them was thin and well-dressed. He was obviously not a young man dressed as a sergeant. A strong, but not tall, middle-aged man who is also armored. He is Song Yu, the marching chief sent by the imperial court.

Shang Ruyi didn't like the eunuchs and supervisors sent by the palace because he had suffered from the supervisor Kou Yunliang when he was in Xingluocang, but this Yin Changyue followed them on horseback for two days, which was not like the previous one. Kou Yunliang was just as hypocritical, and only asked calmly, "General, what is this place?"

Yu Wenye turned to look at him, and said, "There should be a river near here, we will take a rest here temporarily, and give everyone a little time to relax and have a full stomach."

"river?"

Yin Changyue was taken aback for a moment, and then turned his head to look around. The surrounding area was pitch black, and he couldn't tell where there were mountains or rivers, and Yu Wenye didn't have a map in his hand, how could he know?

But at this moment, the sound of gurgling water came from the wind.

There really is a river.

Yu Wenye said: "This should be the Xiaolin River, a tributary of the Fufeng section of the Wei River."

"..."

"Less than twenty miles further on, we will reach Fufeng."

Yin Changyue said: "But, why eat at this time?"

Song Yu on the other side also frowned and said, "Yes, since this place is only twenty miles away from Fufeng, if you hurry up, it will only take half a night. Why don't you go all out and wait until Fufeng to have breakfast?"

Yu Wenye glanced at them.

Although there were soldiers nearby holding up torches to illuminate him, his pupils appeared darker under the light of the fire.

He said: "During this journey, we have not received any battle reports."

"Ok?"

Yin Changyue and Song Yu were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other.

What they asked was why the army stopped and dismounted at this time, and why did the general of Fuguo talk about the battle report instead?
Shang Ruyi also walked over, and was slightly startled when she heard this. After thinking about it again, she understood a little bit, and she said softly: "The previous few battle reports were very urgent, saying that Xue Xian had already approached Fufeng, but after that there was no more The battle report came. It is possible—the battle has already started on Fufeng’s side.”

Hearing her words, Yin Changyue gasped.

The war has already started, so it is too late to send the battle report.

That—I'm afraid the battle will be very fierce, even tragic!

Yu Wenye looked at Shang Ruyi, nodded lightly, but said in a very flat tone, "I guess that's the case, so I have been marching in a hurry today, but so far, everyone has reached their limit."

"..."

"Our group of people went to the past. If there was a war, we had to go to battle immediately. But after walking for a day, the water and rice were dry, and the soldiers had no strength. Why fight? At that time, not only will it not be a help, but it may become a drag."

"..."

"So, I asked everyone to eat here first before leaving, and prepare for battle at any time."

Yin Changyue nodded: "So that's the case."

Yu Wenye said: "Master Supervisor and Chief Supervisor, you all go to eat something too, let's take a rest."

The two said nothing more, and went down to eat separately.

Then Shang Ruyi came to his side again, looked at his sweaty head by the light of the surrounding fire, a piece of handkerchief was wiped completely wet, and the sweat hadn't been wiped off.She took the handkerchief from his hand, and took another piece from her bosom and handed it to him.

Yu Wenye glanced at her and only smiled faintly.

At this time, Wo Xue also came over, took the sweaty handkerchief from Shang Ruyi's hand, and said softly: "Your servant, take it to the river to wash it."

Shang Ruyi nodded, and she turned and left.

Yu Wenye looked at her back, then turned to look at Shang Ruyi, his eyes flickered as if he was asking for something, but he didn't make a sound, Shang Ruyi understood what he meant, and said softly: "I've been staring at you all this way. Her, don't worry, she didn't do anything unusual."

Only then did Yu Wenye nod his head.

The handkerchief just now had wiped a lot of sweat from his head and face, so he only wiped his forehead with Shang Ruyi's handkerchief, then put it away.

Shang Ruyi said softly, "Drink some water. Where's your water bag?"

Yu Wenye glanced back, the water bag on the horse's back was gone, and was about to ask, when he saw Mu Xian running over in a hurry, holding his water bag in his hand, and said, "General, I just Went to the river to get some water."

Yu Wenye took it and took a sip.

After being thirsty for half a day, this sip of water was like a life-saving panacea, which made him feel more refreshed, and when he looked up at the night ahead, his eyes became more serious.

Just now, Shang Ruyi guessed that Fufeng had already started a war, so there was no battle report. This was indeed his previous guess.

However, this may be the best case scenario.

What he was really worried about was——

Just at this moment, Nie Chong, who was standing aside and tending to the reins, suddenly raised his head and looked at the night ahead: "Someone is coming!"

When everyone heard this, they became nervous.

Yu Wenye also frowned, tightened the lid of the water bag that he had only taken a sip of, and handed it to Mu Xian, then raised his head and looked forward, but Mu Xian said again: "The only one who came was a horseman. , it shouldn’t be the enemy.”

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Although all the men and horses brought back from Wanggang Village followed this time, the rest of the army were all from the imperial court, they didn't know what this man was capable of, they just felt that he was talking nonsense, and some people even whispered: "Where did you get a horse and horse? "

"That's right, I can only hear the wind."

"Who is this person? Why do you hear him yelling?"

Hearing these people's contemptuous words, Shan Tong'er was not convinced, and immediately said: "Brother Nie has a good ear, he said someone is coming!"

Everyone was still contemptuous of Nie Chong, but they became even more dissatisfied when they saw that there was such a child in the team who was still closely following the Fuguo General.

Whispering: "What's the matter with us sending troops this time? It's fine with women, but we also have children?"

"Women and children can participate in the war, what do we men do?"

"If you want me to say, it's strange to win this battle."

"That's right, that's Xue Xian..."

The chatter of these people became more and more depressing in the night, and Shang Ruyi frowned when he heard it, but when he looked at Yu Wenye, he didn't seem to be angry, and he didn't even seem to hear it. The words of those people.

Just look straight ahead.

Just as the crowd was clamoring, there was actually a sound of horseshoes in front of them.

This time, everyone's voice was suppressed.

Although Nie Chong said that there was only one cavalry, after all, you still have to be careful on the march. Mu Xian immediately led a group of people forward, holding up the torch, and after a while, he saw that a cavalry was charging towards him, and as soon as he saw The men and horses on this side were also startled, and when they reined in, the horses under their seats neighed, which immediately disturbed the whole night.

Mu Xian immediately said: "The general of Fuguo is here! Who is it?"

When the man heard this, he was so excited that he almost fell off his horse, he hastily reined in the reins, got off his horse, and ran over in a hurry: "General!"

Under the firelight, the yellow-brown soft armor on the man's body caught the eye, he was actually a soldier of Fufeng!

Yu Wenye walked forward calmly, seeing that the soldier was covered in dust and his face was bruised, he said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

The soldier knelt down on the ground, his eyes were red, and he said in a deep voice: "General, Fufeng Guard General Ma Xu defeated the enemy lightly, 8 horses - the whole army was wiped out!"
