Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 636 Night exploration of Zhaoyu City

The setting sun is like fire, reflecting on Zhaoyu City Gate.

Although the city gate was a bit old and the red paint on it had peeled off a lot, the sunset gave the somewhat dull vermilion paint a layer of golden light, and the city gate seemed to be burning in flames.

However, even such warm colors cannot stop the chill brought by the cold wind.

Because the city gate was open, the strong wind blew through the city gate without any hindrance, making a whining, almost mighty sound, and swept away all the yellow leaves and sand on the long street, sweeping the streets dry. Clean.The soldiers guarding the city were also exhausted by the wind. They all curled up their necks and rolled up their sleeves, shivering and moving around to keep warm.

After a while, the time of Unity was approaching.

A few older soldiers walked around lazily, hiding behind the city wall and moving their chins. The two young soldiers had no choice but to walk dejectedly into the wind and walk behind the city gate, preparing to close the gate.

At this moment, two long shadows, pulled by a ray of sunset behind them, walked to their feet.

In the wind, there was also the steady sound of horse hooves.

The two soldiers immediately raised their heads and saw two cavalrymen waking up side by side on the road outside the city gate. The one on the left was a burly man. Although his brocade clothes were not too luxurious, his strong figure was enough. The figure was exceptionally well-dressed, exuding a powerful aura like a cheetah; and the rider beside him was a slim woman.Although she was wearing a curtain hat, at this moment, she stretched out a slender hand to lift the white gauze in front of the hat, revealing a pair of bright, clear, and affectionate eyes.

One look at her and she knew she was a beauty.

Seeing that they were about to close the door, the beauty turned her face sideways and seemed to say something to the man beside her. The two shook their reins and accelerated their horses, and soon they arrived at the city gate.

Two soldiers immediately stopped them: "What are you doing?"

While they were talking, they raised their heads to look at the person on the horse. Originally, both of them subconsciously looked at the woman, but a strong aura involuntarily drew their eyes to the person sitting on the horse. On the back, there is a man with a back as straight as a javelin. He has a handsome face. Although he is about the same age as them, he has an aura of calmness and self-reliance. Just one glance made them lower their heads subconsciously. go.

At this time, the beauty leaned forward slightly and said, "Two military masters, we are here to visit our relatives."

"Going to relatives? From which family?"

"This--"

The beauty hesitated for a moment, and then the handsome man said coldly: "In the west of the city, the surname is Li, the one who does the oil noodle business."

The two soldiers looked at each other.

You know, Qixian County is the most important link on the Taihang Grain Road, especially the west part of the city is full of grain shops. There is more than one oil noodle business, and the surname Li is a common surname. Just speaking in this general way, who knows which shop it is?
The two of them were about to ask again, but when they looked up and met those cold eyes, they couldn't help but swallow back the unspoken words.

Just at this time, the veterans who were hiding from the wind behind them shouted impatiently: "Let us go as soon as we ask clearly. It's time for us to take over! The soup at home will be cold in a while."

Hearing what they said, the two young soldiers looked at each other and stopped asking any more questions.

He just took a step back and said, "Go in."

So, the two men immediately shook their reins, quickened their pace and walked into the city gate. Behind them, with a hoarse and long low sound, the city gate was slowly closed.

When the last ray of sunlight was cut off in the crack of the door, the man suddenly looked back.

The old door bolt was stuck heavily on the door frame.

He turned back calmly, only the hand holding the reins used a little strength, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.Although the beauty on the side did not look back, she felt something from his calm breath and whispered: "Is this city gate the most lax?"

While he was talking, a gust of wind blew by, completely lifting the piece of white gauze hanging in front of the curtain hat, revealing a beautiful face.

It is business wish.

And riding alongside her was none other than Yu Wenye.

When she proposed to enter Qixian County with Yu Wenye, Yu Wenye rejected it mercilessly and even with an angry word. However, she also lost her temper and refused to let him go if he didn't agree. Walk.Originally, in the army, women were speechless, but as Princess Qin, who had directly made military exploits in the Battle of Fufeng, she gained the support of most of the soldiers around her, especially the lieutenants. They also disagreed that Yu Wenye, the King of Qin, was so easily involved in danger. With a woman, he could at least cover his identity, so everyone actually spoke for him.

In this way, Yu Wenye compromised for the first time in the army.

He took her into Zhaoyu City together. However, the two people's entry into the city did not go so smoothly. It was not that they were blocked by others, but they went around the city to observe the guards at the three gates of Zhaoyu City, and finally found this person. at.

Yu Wenye turned to look at her. Under the setting sun, Shang Ruyi's fair face was reflected and glowed slightly.

He immediately looked away and coughed slightly: "Yeah."

Shang Ruyi said: "So, Shen Tutai and the others will be guarding outside?"

Yu Wenye looked back again and then said: "In order not to be discovered, they cannot get close to this place before dark. However, with the laziness of these people, once it gets dark, they will no longer observe the movements outside the city. Wait until then——"

When that time comes, they control the situation in the city and open the city gate here.

Zhaoyu City can be captured!
Shang Ruyi said: "Then we should go find Lei -" After saying this, she immediately shut her mouth warily and looked around again. Although there were no people on the long street, the sound of two people talking could be heard. It was low enough, but this was enemy territory after all, so she couldn't be careful.

Yu Wenye also glanced at her and said, "Yes."

"Then where is his home?"

"He shouldn't be at home."

"why?"

"As the captain of Xuanjie School, he is in charge of the military affairs here. In addition, troops should be frequently used near Taiyuan recently, so he should live in the house behind the county government office and be at his disposal at any time."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Then let's go quickly."

However, Yu Wenye was not in a hurry. He looked up at the sky again and then said, "Go slowly, it will take a while before it will be completely dark."

After hearing his words, Shang Ruyi seemed to have come back to his senses.

So he spurred his horse and followed him forward leisurely.

As soon as the sun set, it got dark very quickly. By the time the two of them rode their horses and arrived near the county government office, the surrounding light had become dim and there were fewer pedestrians on the street.The two still did not rush to the county government office immediately. Instead, they led the horses to a small alley and tied them up. They then took a detour from the back of the alley and finally arrived at the back of the county government office.

Here, there is indeed a row of bungalows specially prepared for officials.

Since the founding of the Daye Dynasty, this kind of building has been built in various county and government offices so that officials in charge of local military affairs can quickly enter the government offices to handle affairs during special war periods; and because of the special geographical location of Qi County, There are many officials coming and going, so these houses are not crudely repaired.

At a glance, Shang Ruyi saw light shining through the window of one of the rooms in the dim night.

She immediately lowered her voice and said, "Is that there?"

Yu Wenye nodded.

But his attention was not entirely on that room. Instead, he glanced around, frowned slightly and said, "Why is there not a single guard here?"

Although there are no guards, making it easier for them to enter, there must be monsters if something goes wrong, so they still have to be careful.

Shang Ruyi said softly: "Let's go and take a look first."

Yu Wenye nodded and led her forward.The two of them were cautious, but there was really no guard nearby. It was as if they were in a deserted land. After a while, the two of them had arrived at the door of the only room with the light on. The door was closed and the windows were also tightly closed, but inside the room The lighted candlelight still cast some shadows on the windows.

It was a silhouette of a man.

This person's eyebrows were very high. Although he couldn't see his specific appearance, just looking at the silhouette on the window, he seemed to be frowning and he seemed to be in a heavy mood. And this person kept walking back and forth in the room, as if He was thinking about something, and seemed to be conflicted about something. He looked very anxious. From time to time, you could still hear him sighing deeply.

As soon as he heard this voice, Yu Wenye's eyebrows immediately frowned.

Shang Ruyi looked at the equally handsome profile in the night, even more handsome than the silhouette on the window, and asked in a breathy voice: "Is it him?"

Yu Wenye nodded.

Shang Ruyi was about to ask what to do next, but before he could speak, Yu Wenye had already taken a step forward, walked directly to the door, reached out and knocked on the door.

Shang Ruyi was startled, but subconsciously followed him and stood behind him.

The footsteps inside immediately stopped and he asked: "Who?"

Yu Wenye did not agree.

The footsteps in the house sounded again, but they quickly reached the door, and then, the door was opened slightly.

A young, but somewhat sad face appeared in front of them.

This person is Lei Guo.

Almost as soon as the door opened, Shang Ruyi immediately saw Lei Yu's shadow on his face.This Lei Guo should be in his twenties. As seen from the silhouette on the window just now, he has very high eyebrows and almost the same deep and sharp facial features as the Lei family.But unlike Lei Yu, his temperament is much more reserved. Moreover, I don't know if it is because of his personality or something else. His eyebrows are almost firmly carved with several lines of Sichuan characters. He is obviously not that old. Big, but there is a bit of sadness in the whole person.

As soon as he saw the person outside the door, Lei Guo immediately opened his eyes in horror!
"you--"

He seemed like he couldn't believe his eyes, but the next moment, his expression immediately changed. Before Yu Wenye could speak, he suddenly stretched out his hand from the door and grabbed Yu Wenye!
