Noble First Daughter-in-law

"what?!"

Hearing these words, Shang Ruyi was suddenly startled. The tenderness brought out from the dream and the warmth brought by the chest next to her were instantly swept away. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Yu Wenye.

Under the dim light, she could not clearly see the expression on Yu Wenye's face, but she could clearly hear him gritting his teeth hard.

It seemed like he wanted to bite something into pieces.

When he heard her ask "What did you say?" again, Yu Wenye's arms that hugged her tightly, but at this moment had completely lost their affection, and even let go of his arms that were as cold as ice, without saying a word. He pulled back mercilessly, leaving a distance between the two of them, as if there was some invisible person blocking the gap between them.

And Yu Wenye's eyes became colder and more ruthless when they looked through this invisible person.

He sneered: "Or, I should ask that."

"..."

"Shang Ruyi, if you knew - if he would not fail, then who would you choose?"

"...!?"

These words were like an inexplicable but heavy hammer, hitting Shang Ruyi's heart hard. Her heartbeat stopped for a beat. When she spoke, her voice was dry and unfamiliar: "What do you mean? ?”

"..."

"I keep my brother in my heart, can't I?"

"..."

"I just want you to send more troops to protect my brother. Is it that difficult?"

"Brother, yes, your brother."

Mentioning Shen Wuzheng, Yu Wenye gritted his teeth hard and licked the invisible wound at the corner of his lip. Although it had healed over the past few days, the salty smell of blood lingered in his heart all day long. It was like blood flowing from a crack in his heart.

And this action of licking the wound also made his originally cold and hard face look a bit ferocious at this moment: "Not only brother, but also your family. For you, those are the most important things." Important people, let you even--"

At this point, he stopped, but it wasn't that he couldn't go on, but that something he had been suppressing finally burst out at this time.

He stared at Shang Ruyi and sneered: "Am I useful to you?"

"..."

"Can you protect your family, the people you care about?"

"..."

"If I couldn't do all this, if I - wasn't Yu Wenyuan's son, wouldn't you have chosen me from the beginning?"

"...!"

At this moment, Shang Ruyi's mind buzzed.

She looked at Yu Wenye in disbelief. The words she had just said through gritted teeth, as if struggling from the deepest pain, were like thunder, echoing in her ears, but the sound was also shocking. Her mind went blank.

Why would he ask that?
Could it be that he knew——

No!He couldn't possibly know!

This matter, or her choice, was her own decision from the beginning to the end. She never told anyone, not even her uncle and uncle. They only knew that she refused to marry Yuwen Sui, and in order not to destroy the two families How could Yu Wenye know that he had chosen a husband for himself because of his in-law relationship?

unless--

At this moment, a domineering and bright face suddenly flashed in her mind.

Could it be - her!

When thinking of a certain possibility, Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a biting chill. It was as if his whole body was suddenly thrown into the ice and snow. In an instant, all the blood in his body was frozen into ice, and even his heart was sealed.

And the drastic change in her expression was clearly reflected in Yu Wenye's eyes.

She is indeed...

At this moment, he only felt extremely ironic, especially when he recalled that he had just returned to the room and saw her curled up on the bed, shivering from the nightmare. He immediately went to bed without even having time to take off her clothes. He gently held her in his arms; even though he was obviously furious when he heard her calling another man's name in her dream, all the anger was suppressed because she said "Fengchen" in confusion, The self who wants to forget all that——

Really, too ironic!

Without giving Shang Ruyi any time to react, Yu Wenye immediately got up and got out of bed.

As soon as he left, the cold air around him surged up like a tide, making it hard to breathe for a while. Shang Ruyi opened his eyes wide and looked at Yu Wenye's usually cold face under the dim light, but at this moment, it was already so cold. There was no trace of warmth in his face, and his face seemed to have lost all vitality, and his eyes were full of sarcastic smiles.

However, the sarcasm didn't seem to be directed at her.

Rather, to himself.

"Feng Chen..."

Shang Ruyi was so frightened by the possibility that she just thought about that she could hardly react, but she still instinctively called his name.

The next moment, Yu Wenye's cold and hollow voice was heard: "No need."

"..."

"You should call me Yu Wenye."

"..."

"Between you and me, there is still a deal after all!"

After saying that, he turned around, opened the door, and walked out without looking back.

This time, Shang Ruyi also panicked.Although she was confused, she subconsciously felt that she couldn't let him leave like this.

Not only that, she wanted him to send troops to protect Shen Wuzheng.

Also, she wanted to explain what she had just said, and there was still some misunderstanding between them - maybe, maybe that was not a "misunderstanding", because she knew that she had indeed planned that at first, but then...

Just as she rushed to the door and was about to chase her out, a thunderous voice suddenly sounded outside: "Your Highness, there is an urgent report - what's wrong with you?"

"—!"

Shang Ruyi's steps suddenly stopped.

It wasn't that she didn't dare to see thunder, but the wind from the door blew open her thin clothes, especially her chest, exposing a large area of ​​fair skin. She was shocked to realize that she was only wearing close-fitting underwear. If she had just been desperate If you chase him out in front of outsiders, then you really shouldn’t be a human being!
Thinking of this, she hurriedly took a step back and covered her breasts with her hands.

Outside, Lei Guo was still talking, but his somewhat eager tone became cautious now: "Your Highness, your face looks so ugly. Is it because you feel uncomfortable, or -"

"nothing."

Yu Wenye's cold voice sounded again.

He has returned to his usual calmness and self-possession, but his tone is a little stiffer than usual, as if he had put on a suit of armor in an instant, and even his voice was shrouded: "What urgent report did you just say?"

"It's the movement of the Western Turks. Several other lieutenants have arrived in the lobby."

"Walk."

"Yes."

Soon, the two people's footsteps disappeared outside the door.

Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, but she was not completely relaxed. After she breathed a sigh of relief, she immediately took a deep breath, turned around and walked back to the bed.

On the bed, the quilt was messy, and her clothes were even hanging beside the bed, with the hem of her clothes hanging on the ground.

Although there was no more intimacy, just looking at this scene, she still instinctively recalled the tenderness that greeted her when she just woke up from the nightmare, but she didn't expect that in just a few words, everything seemed to have happened. Earth-shaking changes.

If everything is really because——

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated, immediately grabbed the clothes and put them on. However, in her desperation, she forgot to light the lamp. The clothes and belts were all tangled together, and she couldn't put them on properly after pulling for a long time.Fortunately, Wuxue had already stood up. When she heard the commotion, she came over to check and saw Shang Ruyi, who was struggling with her clothes and sweating profusely. He quickly stepped forward to help her dress and wash her briefly.

After reluctantly arranging his appearance, Shang Ruyi immediately hurried to the lobby.

It's not yet dawn, but because Qixian County is in a special period, the lights in the county government office were not cut off almost all night. Ruyi, a lighting dealer along the way, quickly walked to yesterday's meeting hall. Naturally, this place had already been It was cleaned up, but the big hole on the floor made by Yu Wenye hadn't had time to be repaired. In fact, because the morning wind was too cold and clean, Shang Ruyi even faintly smelled the smell in the lobby when he approached. A faint smell of blood.

This smell was so exciting that her steps couldn't help but stagnate.

At this moment, Yu Wenye's deep voice came out from inside——

"The additional troops from the Western Turks are almost arriving in Mengyang County?"

"Yes!"

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath subconsciously.

Suffering from the sun?

Although she was not too familiar with this place, she had spent some time in Taiyuan and Yu Wenye often looked at maps to familiarize himself with the terrain, so she did not know anything about the surrounding prefectures and counties.

Mengyang County is a county close to the east of Taiyuan.

This place is not big, but it has special strategic significance. Just like Qi County is the grain road of Taihang, Mengyang County is rich in water and grass, and it is an indispensable forage ground for Yu Wenyuan to raise cavalry in Taiyuan.

The additional troops of the Western Turks are about to reach Mengyang, which means that they are only one day away from Taiyuan.

And there is another pasture.

More importantly, it seems that there is still——

At this time, Lei Guo said: "With the speed of the Turkic cavalry, if they arrive in Mengyang to replenish forage, they can reach Taiyuan in less than a day. However, the group of people we are planning to sneak into Taiyuan City only set off in the early morning, and they will have to pass by at the earliest." They won't be able to reach Taiyuan until noon. Even if they successfully infiltrate, the Western Turks' reinforcements have already been completed."

"..."

"Then if we cooperate inside and outside this time, can we still have a chance of winning?"

"..."

Yu Wenye did not speak immediately, and the air was filled with anxious emotions.

After a while, he said: "The additional troops from the Western Turks will not reach Taiyuan within one day."

"...!?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Shen Tutai immediately said: "Your Highness, King Qin, at their speed -"

"I know,"

Yu Wenye said calmly: "The Turkic cavalry are indeed very fast, but that is only when they are moving smoothly and unimpeded."

"Your Highness, you mean that someone will stop them?"

"Yes."

"who is it?"

Yu Wenye took a deep breath and said slowly: "Of course, my royal brother."
