Noble First Daughter-in-law

"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!

Then, he forcefully pulled Yu Wenye into the room.

The moment he was pulled into the room, Yu Wenye reached back, grabbed Shang Ruyi's wrist, and dragged her into the room.

The three of them were all a little frightened, especially Shang Ruyi, whose heartbeat almost skipped a beat.

She took two hard breaths, then raised her head, and saw the frightened expression on Lei Guo's face. After pulling the two of them into the room, she immediately reached out to close the door, and then walked to the window again, carefully He pushed away the thread and looked outside.

Outside, it was still as before, no one was there, not even the sound of wind.

On the other side, Yu Wenye, who was pulled to the middle of the room, had a calm face, as if he had arrived in his own territory and was seeing his own subordinates. He even dusted his sleeves comfortably and then raised his head. Come and look around.

Shang Ruyi also followed his gaze and took a brief look around - this room was indeed as they thought before. It was simply furnished and did not even have an inner and outer room. It only had a bed against the wall and a low table in front of it. A few pieces of felt, and a cabinet on the other side of the wall with a few cups on it.

and a sword.

Lei Guo had obviously finished his official duties for the day. He had taken off his guard when he came back here. He was only wearing this jacket. There was not even a brazier in the room, but when he saw him through the crack of the door just now, his forehead was full of blood. It was thin sweat. If this person was not born with fire nature and was not afraid of cold, or there was a fire burning in his heart, making him anxious.

Judging from the dull atmosphere in the room, it should be the latter.

At this moment, he leaned against the window and looked outside for a long time to make sure that nothing was the same. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and his shoulders drooped a little. But when he turned his face again, he saw that he was standing in the center of the room. Yu Wenye's expression became complicated.

Moreover, the muscles all over the body are a little tight.

He said: "Second Young Master, you, what are you doing here?"

Yu Wenye glanced at him and said, "The news from Chang'an should have been transmitted."

"Chang'an?"

Lei Guo was startled by this unfamiliar name, but the next moment he understood it. When he looked at Yu Wenye again, his eyes became more solemn and he said: "Yes, Daxing has now been changed to Chang'an; and Daye has also been changed to Dasheng."

"..."

"So you're—"

"Dasheng Dynasty, King Qin, Yu Wenye."

"King Qin, King Qin..."

Lei Guo repeated the title, as if he was chewing on the taste, and as if he was sighing. After a while, he smiled softly and said: "Yes, all of us understand that the Duke - oh no , now he should be called the Great Emperor, and he will achieve great things sooner or later."

"..."

"Now it seems that it is indeed true."

"..."

"I, too, I once met the Ming Lord."

After saying that, he slowly turned around, but did not walk in front of Yu Wenye. Instead, he walked towards the cabinet on the other side, as if he was going to get some tea from the cup over there to entertain the guests.

Looking at his back, Yu Wenye looked solemn and said: "Since you have to meet the Ming Lord, why do you want to surrender to the enemy!"

Hearing his low voice ask this question, although the voice was not loud, there was a deafening feeling like a thunderbolt in this narrow and empty room, and Shang Ruyi's breathing tightened involuntarily. , staring closely at Lei Guo.

When Lei Guo heard this, his shoulders immediately twitched.

Even if he hasn't turned around yet, just looking at his back, you can feel his whole body tense up, and when he spoke, his voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "You know that I have surrendered the enemy, but you still come to the door. , then don’t blame me——”

At this point, he turned around suddenly.

Just hearing the dragon roar of "Cang", the long sword was unsheathed, and a cold light as sharp as lightning flashed across their eyes.

Shang Ruyi's eyes widened suddenly, and then he saw Lei Guo holding the long sword he had placed on the cabinet in his hand. It turned out that just now, he didn't just walk over to pour tea, but was holding the sword and preparing to attack!

Lei Guo's eyes were red, hidden behind the cold light at the tip of the sword, as if they were stained with blood.

He said word by word: "Don't blame me, kill the enemy!"

"...!"

Shang Ruyi also became nervous, but she did not retreat. Instead, she subconsciously took a step forward.However, as soon as she took this step, a tall figure suddenly came over and blocked her face.

It's Yu Wenye.

His face was solemn, but his stern eyes showed no murderous intent except for the cold light that reflected the sword pointed at him. Even his hands were just hanging calmly by his side, without using any force. , not to mention taking any weapons.

Lei Guo frowned and said, "You, don't want to do anything?"

Yu Wenye looked at him coldly and said, "You should be able to tell that I have no intention of fighting with you."

"..."

"Because, if I were to do it, it would have been when I was at the door just now, and now, you should have run out of energy."

"...!"

Lei Guo's face froze, and the tip of the sword in his hand trembled slightly, but he did not refute.

Obviously, he is very aware of Yu Wenye's strength, and he also knows that the other party's words are not exaggerated in the slightest. Now that he is still standing here with his sword pointed at Yu Wenye, it is Yu Wenye who is giving him a chance.

He took a deep breath and said, "Then, what are you here for?"

Yu Wenye looked at him calmly and said, "I'm here to ask you to do one more thing."

"One more thing?"

Lei Guo frowned: "What's the matter?" Yu Wenye said: "Surrender to the enemy."

"...!"

Lei Guo's eyes flashed, and the sword in his hand shook violently. The tip of the sword reflected the only candle in the room, flickering more intensely than his eyes. After a while, his voice was trembling and he said: "You said What?"

Yu Wenye said: "I want you to come back."

"..."

"I want you to help me capture Taiyuan!"

The more Yu Wenye spoke, the more chaotic Lei Guo's aura became. In the end, he could no longer even hold the sword in his hand. His long arm slowly dropped down, completely losing the room to use force.

However, he still shook his head and said: "You know, this is impossible."

"..."

"I did surrender to the enemy, but what I surrendered was not 'the enemy', but -"

At this point, he seemed to be unable to continue, or in other words, he couldn't explain clearly - he was because Lei Yu was married to the young prince of the Western Turks, and the Western Turks had joined forces with Wang Shaoqiu to capture Taiyuan, and there was no way to retreat. In the desperate situation of retreat, he accepted this fact and continued to guard Qixian County after surrendering to the enemy.However, Taiyuan does not belong to Lei Yi, nor does it belong to Lei Yu. Even the people who gave orders to Qixian County and asked him to do things are not from the Lei family.

Nowadays, enemies are not enemies, and relatives cannot be close.

Not only did he feel unworthy of the imperial court he once loyal to and the Duke Sheng who took good care of him, he even completely lost his goals for the rest of his life.

Seeing his confused look, Yu Wenye's eyes darkened a bit. He took a step forward and said to Lei Guo: "Lei Guo, you just said that you also had to meet the Lord Ming."

"..."

"Then the person you serve now is a wise master?"

"..."

"Or, I should ask you, which one of them do you think can become the Master?"

"..."

"Is it the ferocious, greedy, licentious Wang Shaoji, or the cunning, insidious Wang Shaoqiu, or -" At this point, Yu Wenye's eyes showed some clear sarcasm: "It's from the Western Turks people?"

Mentioning this, Lei Guo's brows furrowed even more.

He was born with high eyebrows. Once he was in a dimly lit environment, his eyes would almost be covered by the shadow cast by his eyebrows. At this moment, his eyes seemed to be swallowed up by the haze, leaving only a faint light. Still flashing.

It's like a person is about to drown and is still struggling.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Yu Wenye: "You——"

"Don't ask me."

Yu Wenye said coldly and bluntly: "I have only one answer."

"..."

"Lei Guo, it's understandable that your uncles and others took refuge with Liang Shide back then, because Emperor Yang was suspicious by nature. He not only hated the rebels, but was also suspicious of the generals leading the army. That's why General Lei only led 5 troops. The tens of thousands of rebels who went to Hebei to ping Liang Shide wanted both of them to lose, so that he could rest assured."

"..."

"So, his destruction, the ruin of his country and his death, are destined!"

Although at this moment, it was a matter of whether he could convince the people in front of him, and more importantly, their life and death, when he mentioned Chu Yang, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but choked.

She couldn't deny what Yu Wenye said. Her evaluation of Chu Yang might be harsh, but it was also profound. It could even be said that it was profound.

Some things are just destined.

No matter how blessed he is by God, no matter how smart he is.

Just when Shang Ruyi's mind was confused, Yu Wenye, who was standing in front of her, seemed to feel that the aura of the person behind her was disordered. He glanced back. Shang Ruyi hurriedly cheered up. Yu Wenye's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything. What? Instead, he turned his head and continued to face Lei Guo, but his tone became deeper and colder, saying: "But it was unwise for you to surrender to the enemy."

"..."

"Because, there is no need for me to assert, even you yourself know that whether it is Wang Shaoji, Wang Shaoqiu, or the Western Turks who have been planning in the north and want to cause trouble in the Central Plains, they are not wise masters."

"..."

"Your ideal since childhood is that there will be no more wars in the world and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. But can't you see that if you follow them, you will not only fail to fulfill your ideal, but it will also destroy the peaceful land of the Central Plains that you hope to achieve!"

"...!"

His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Lei Guo's heart hard.

At this moment, not only were his eyes broken, but his breathing and heartbeat almost stopped.

But Yu Wenye remained calm, without any fluctuation in his eyes or tone, and said calmly: "I have finished what I said."

"..."

"Today, I did not bring a weapon into the city, and I just said that I do not intend to fight you here. So, if you want to fight, or if you want to call someone over - even if it is not easy, But he can always take me down.”

"..."

"It depends on how you plan."

After speaking, he slowly put his hands behind his back.

As soon as he saw him like this, countless complex emotions flashed across Lei Guo's face in an instant, and there seemed to be thousands of thoughts colliding and struggling in his eyes.

His hand slowly tightened the hilt of the sword.
