Noble First Daughter-in-law

At this moment, Yu Wenye's fingers suddenly paused, and he swiped from Fukouxing to the left, and pointed his fingertips firmly on Yicheng.

He raised his head and said to Yu Wenzei: "Brother, I choose this place."

"...!?"

At this moment, everyone in the meeting hall was stunned.

No one expected that at the last moment, he would change his focus. His attention was still on the Eastern Front, but he suddenly chose the Western Front.

Even Yu Wenzhen, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but frown at this time.

He looked at Yu Wenye's twinkling but solemn eyes, and then looked at the worrying Yicheng that he had marked on the map. After being silent for a long while, he said, "Second brother, have you decided?"

Yu Wenye said: "Not bad."

"..."

Yu Wenzhen looked at him for a while, then chuckled and said, "I thought that with my second brother's personality, he would definitely choose the Eastern Front."

Yu Wenye said: "Brother, don't get me wrong. My brother chose the Western Front, not because he is afraid of the easy and the hard."

Yuwen smiled and said: "I don't think so either."

Yu Wenye nodded, took another step forward, looked at several fortresses on the east line, especially Jingxing Pass near Jinzhong, and said in a deep voice: "Apart from Yanmen County, I actually followed my father in Longmen. During the war, I fought against the Turks several times, and they are familiar with my fighting style. If it were an ordinary battle, I could still give it a try, but this time it is about the safety of Taiyuan, and I cannot take the risk."

"I see."

"In addition, in this expedition, I will bring the most light cavalry, which can move flexibly in the mountains and reach Yicheng as quickly as possible to rescue my third brother."

As he said that, he glanced at the western line on the map that represented the canyon where Yuwen Cheng was trapped, then turned around and glanced at the scattered snow outside the meeting hall, which was still dancing messily in the light of the fire.

He said in a deep voice: "Third brother, I'm afraid I can only support these two days."

"...!?"

Yuwen's eyes darkened in confusion.

Although Yu Wencheng was besieged by Wang Shaoji's men, and even the men sent by Chu Zhengfei to meet him were defeated and retreated, he indeed could not hold on for long, but why did Yu Wenye say so clearly that he could only hold on for two days?

Where does the reason come from?

However, he did not ask any more questions. After pondering for a while, the smile on his face gradually faded away. Instead, there was a more solemn expression, and he said to Yu Wenye: "In that case, then I will send the Western Front - Leave the safety of the third brother to the second brother."

Yu Wenye said: "Brother, please rest assured!"

After saying that, both of them nodded and turned around, only to see the different expressions on the lobby, especially the people standing behind them.

Especially Yu Mingyue, and Shang Ruyi.

Yu Mingyue frowned slightly, as if she was a little surprised by Yu Wenye's choice, but when she looked carefully, although her bright face was illuminated by the lights, there was no trace of joy or anger.

After making eye contact with Yu Wenzu, her eyes fell again on Shang Ruyi, who was sitting opposite her.

It wasn't until this moment that a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

At this time, Shang Ruyi was already a little confused.

Yu Wenye——Choose the Western Front?

She couldn't say that she fully understood this man. It was as if this man always seemed to be hostile to her but was not hostile, but seemed to have unquenchable anger, which always made her confused. At this time, his The choice surprised her even more.

Although everyone knows that Yu Wenye is a person who is ambitious for power and status. Otherwise, he would not have asked Yu Wenyuan to give him the position of prince in exchange for the request. If he did not give it, he would He really refused to take that step; and the last step, he indeed took it at the most critical moment, saving an opportunity to compete for the crown prince's position.

However, the situation in front of me is a bit too simple.

Simply, it's as if the other party has set up a trap to induce them to jump in.

Because on the surface, it seems that it is much easier to choose the Western Front. However, anyone can easily see this "easiness". If Yu Wenzhen wants to win the crown prince, he should not let Yu Wenye take the initiative. Come and choose.

What's more, this "easy" thing was probably planned by someone and showed to them.

After all, when they passed through Tongguan, they found the gunpowder and saltpeter that Yu Mingyue had piled up in the valley in order to murder Yu Wenye. But later, when they asked Chu Zhengfei if someone had transported saltpeter, gunpowder out of the customs, he did not hesitate. Denial outright.

Obviously at that time, he was hiding Yu Mingyue's existence, and the meeting between the two just now explained everything.

If this is the case, how much of the information he provided is true and how much is false?
But at this time, she couldn't say anything. She could only watch Yu Wenzhen and Yu Wenye whisper a few more words, obviously arranging the dispatch of troops tomorrow. After that, seeing that it was getting too late, Chu Zhengfei invited everyone to go first. Go to the dining room to have dinner and then rest.

Although this meal was not as good as the banquet in the palace, it was still rich.

But at this time, no one had the intention to taste the fine wines and delicacies. Only the table reserved for Shantong'er and the others was eaten clean by him like a storm. The rest of the people simply had some food and then went down. the table.

Then, they went back to their rooms to rest.

However, when Shang Ruyi finished bathing and returned to the room, he found that Yu Wenye was not in the room. After asking, he found out that he had gone to the military camp again.

It seems that they are going to discuss with Shen Tutai and others about sending troops tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but sigh, and silently sat on the bed alone. Although he was still carrying the heat from the shower, and there was a heater beside the bed, there was an indescribable chill in his heart. Radiate out.Will Yu Wenye... stay in the military camp tonight?
Or will you come back?
These days, they haven't spoken.

When resting at night, because the army was moving together, it was naturally impossible to be as close as before, not to mention being intimate, or even getting closer.

She wasn't the kind of person who couldn't live without a man, but in the current situation, the two of them not only had a cold relationship, but also didn't talk to each other, and were even far apart... This still made her a little sad.

Thinking like this, Shang Ruyi lay down alone. After a while, he pulled up the quilt and wrapped it around him.

Under the quilt again, silently curled up into a ball.

It was still windy and snowy outside, and the howling cold wind blew through the big trees in the yard. The swaying tree shadows were projected on the windows, as if the whole world was about to overturn. Shang Ruyi slowly recovered amidst such shaky bumps. closed his eyes.

Half asleep and half awake, it was late at night.

When I was confused, I heard a familiar sound of footsteps in the wind, walking into the house step by step, and then approaching the bed.

Although he was not fully awake yet, Shang Ruyi subconsciously felt that it was Yu Wenye.

He is back.

Although he came back, he did not go to bed immediately. He even had a bit of the chill of the ice and snow outside. He stood quietly by the bed. When the chill seemed to be melted by the warmth with her breath in the room, He suddenly turned around and walked out again.

At this moment, Shang Ruyi immediately woke up.

She hurriedly stood up, not caring that the quilt on her body had slipped off, and her belt had become loose, and the clothes on her shoulders had also slipped down. Her delicate skin shone like pearls in the dim light.

"Where are you going?"

After saying this, Shang Ruyi's own face felt a little hot.

Fortunately, the light in the room was dim at this time, and Yu Wenye had already walked some distance away from the bed, so he could not clearly see the almost embarrassed expression on her face at this time.

However, the suddenly quiet atmosphere in the room still made her feel a little embarrassed.

After being silent for a long time, Yu Wenye said, "What?"

I don't know if it was his own illusion, or maybe in such a dark night, it would cause some deviations in people's hearing. Shang Ruyi actually felt that Yu Wenye seemed to be struggling to say these two simple words.

It seems that there is still a slight tremor.

As if expecting something.

But, what does he have to look forward to?Besides, what I really want to say to him is——

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Why did you choose the Western Front today?"

"..."

Suddenly, she felt the tall body of the person in front of her shake again, as if it was hit by something invisible. The whole body shook, but when she looked carefully, she felt that Yuwen Ye's body was definitely not. It was moving, but not shaking, on the contrary, it was a little stiff.

He took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, his voice was no longer as labored as before, and even had a slight tremor, but instead, it was filled with a smile.

But that smile was also cold.

He said: "You want to tell me this?"

Shang Ruyi blinked-what else?

Isn't their most important thing right now the dispatch of troops in the future?Although Yu Wenye had already chosen the Western Front and indeed could not change it, the anxiety in her heart was unavoidable. Especially when she recalled how Yu Mingyue and Chu Zhengfei met during the day, she became even more worried. There will be some conspiracy.

Therefore, Shang Ruyi said seriously: "Before sending troops, my father made it very clear that the one who captures Taiyuan first will win, and the winner will be the crown prince."

"..."

"Yu Mingyue is here with her whole heart. She can't really leave a simple route to us."

"..."

"Behind this matter, I'm afraid there is a deeper conspiracy. We -"

Having said that, she suddenly stopped.

Because she saw that Yu Wenye slowly walked to the bed and looked down at her. His cold gaze was a bit colder than the messy cold wind and the scattered snow flying in the cold wind. He was the only one who looked at her. Looking at it, it was as if cold water with icy particles was poured from head to toe.

Shang Ruyi suddenly shuddered and stopped talking.

And Yu Wenye's eyes were cold, especially when he lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes seemed to be covered with frost, which made his eyes even colder, and his voice did not contain any warmth: "Have you forgotten? , I have told you a long time ago that no matter what happens, the eldest brother will put the safety of the third brother first."

"..."

"Me too."

As he said that, he lowered his head to look at Shang Ruyi, his eyes flickering, and his calmness and coldness revealed a bit of bone-chilling coldness, and he said calmly: "You are not the only one in this world who will protect your family."
