Noble First Daughter-in-law

The sky is blue, the wild is vast.

As soon as he opened his eyes, what he could see was the cloudless sky and the endless grassland. It was as if the scene of his childhood appeared again in his dream. For a moment, it was difficult for Shang Ruyi to tell whether he was actually in reality. Still unreal.

But the next moment, a violent jolt and the accompanying pain in her muscles and bones pulled her thoughts back from the illusion.

"Well!"

Just after she woke up from a coma, she let out a low cry unexpectedly, and then she heard the low and hoarse sound from above her head, like rough rocks brushing against her eardrums: "Are you awake?"

Shang Ruyi was shocked and immediately woke up.

Only then did she realize that she was still sitting on the horse, leaning against a broad and thick chest. When she raised her head, she came face to face with the handsome and rugged face she last saw before she fell into coma——

Ashina Zhuxie.

Immediately afterwards, another burst of sharp pain came from the back of her neck. Shang Ruyi almost couldn't hold it back and moaned again, but she bit her lower lip and held it back tightly, and that dull pain also reminded her that she was... She was knocked unconscious by this person because she refused to settle down. Even though she was taken far away from Qi County by this team, she still wanted to escape. In the end, she was hit in the back of the neck by this Ashina Zhuxie and passed out.

Now, the surrounding scenery is very different from before. They have actually left the customs and arrived on the grassland!
I don't know how long I was unconscious.

"Don't think about it anymore,"

The rough voice sounded again and said calmly: "If you were in those places before, you might be able to find a way to escape, but now on the grassland, without horses, no food, and no direction, you can't move at all."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's breath tightened and he frowned.

This man was right, and—

Ashina Zhuxie looked forward and said while riding his horse: "Besides, you have been unconscious for several days and haven't eaten. Even if I give you a horse, you can't escape now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp pain like a knife was felt in his stomach.

Shang Ruyi bit her lower lip again, but she was enduring the weakness and pain caused by the extreme hunger. Even if she did nothing now, she could still feel the pain and weakness in her muscles and bones. As she woke up, these feelings It became more and more intense, and soon she was breaking into cold sweat, and even her breathing became constricted.

How long have you been in a coma?
Feeling that the person in his arms was breathing weakly and sweating, Ashina Zhuxie glanced down and suddenly said: "Rest where you are!"

He gave the order, and the thunderous sound of galloping horse hooves around him stopped one after another. He also tightened the reins, stopped the horse under him, then turned over and dismounted, and stretched his arms to Shang Ruyi on the horse. Show your hands.

"..."

Shang Ruyi glanced at him and said nothing. He just bent down, grasped the bridle with both hands, and slowly slid off the horse.

Ashina Zhu Xie looked at her somewhat stubborn back and the backs of her hands with bulging veins. Somehow, he seemed to remember something and was in a daze for a moment. However, Shang Ruyi got off the horse smoothly. , but this action also completely consumed her little remaining physical strength. As soon as her feet landed on the ground, her knees softened and she fell unexpectedly.

"what!"

Shang Ruyi screamed in fright and was about to fall to the ground. At this moment, a pair of arms stretched out from behind and held her tightly.

Shang Ruyi looked back with lingering fear. It was Ashina Zhuxie.

He looked down at her, his eyes seemed to be in a trance, but also searching, and he murmured thoughtfully: "You, it seems-"

Shang Ruyi was stunned and looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he was talking about.

Ashina Zhuxie seemed to have sensed something, and immediately straightened his expression, holding her arms to help her stand upright: "Can you stand still?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi didn't speak. He just gritted his teeth and stood firm by instinct. Then he stood up and said with sweating profusely, "I'm fine."

Ashina Zhuxie looked at her again and smiled.

The army rested on the spot and began to boil water and barbecue. They moved quickly, and soon the steam was rising. The barbecue was sizzling and oily on the flames, and the biting cold wind was filled with the aroma of meat.

Shang Ruyi, who was sitting in front of the campfire, finally waited for a piece of barbecue and a bowl of hot soup.

As soon as she took it from the soldier's hand, she couldn't wait to drink the soup and eat the meat. She didn't know how many days of hunger finally got a little bit of oil and water to moisten her hunger, which made her whole body tremble, and she sat there Ashina Zhuxie on the side looked through the flames quietly at her face which had regained some color.

After a while, he said: "I thought you would refuse."

Shang Ruyi swallowed a mouthful of meat, but still felt tightness in his chest, so he took a big sip of hot soup and finally suppressed the greasiness. Then he looked up at him and said, "What?"

"I thought you wouldn't eat the enemy's food."

"why not?"

"Don't you Han people pay attention to something - integrity?"

Shang Ruyi lowered his head and glanced at the oil floating in the soup bowl, sneered, and said: "It's about integrity, but it doesn't conflict with me eating your food."

"..."

"Besides, didn't you just say that I haven't eaten for several days? Even if you give me a horse, I can't escape."

Ashina Zhuxie raised his eyebrows slightly: "So, you still want to escape?"

"of course."

"..." In fact, Shang Ruyi also felt that soon after he caught her, this person began to explore her, and she didn't know for what purpose; however, she had heard about the origin of Ashina Zhuxie, and knew He has a sinister and calm temperament, can make good decisions, and is not a person who is easily angered. Even if he clearly wants to run away, he may not be angry because of these words.

But unexpectedly, after hearing his own words, he suddenly laughed.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help frowning.

After laughing, those wolf-like eyes narrowed slightly again, flashing with a bit of boiling temperature through the firelight, and said: "I would like to see how you can escape from my hands."

"..."

"Besides, don't you want to see your old friend?"

"...!"

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and became quiet.

In fact, she also understands that there is no point in arguing with Ashina Zhuxie here. Besides, she has not fully recovered her strength yet, let alone their specific location. It is indeed too early to escape. A little more.

What's more, he was right.

Seeing that they were heading north, they had already reached the grassland, and they were probably going to the Turkic tent. If so, then she might really be able to see it...

With this thought, she calmed down, said nothing more, and quietly finished what she had in hand.

Although he had eaten and drank enough, his physical strength did not recover so quickly. Shang Ruyi sat quietly in the distance and warmed himself by the fire. The grassland is completely covered.When I was captured by them before, because it was too dark and I was too nervous, I never figured out how many people there were in this team. But now I took a quick look and saw that there were at least tens of thousands of people.

so many people--

She suddenly thought of something, looked up at Ashina Zhuxie who was eating on the other side of the bonfire, and said, "You were originally going to Taiyuan, right?"

Ashina Zhuxie looked up at her but said nothing.

But Shang Ruyi frowned slightly, thought about it again, and then said: "But you went to Qi County, and now, you are heading north."

"..."

"You didn't go to reinforce Taiyuan, then Taiyuan now-"

Ashina Zhu Xie looked at her intently, his eyes twinkling slightly under the firelight: "You, a woman, actually care about us sending troops to fight the war in Taiyuan?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Can't the female stream care about the war?"

"..."

"I have been captured by you. If you don't care anymore, there will be no room for escape."

Hearing that she still wanted to run away, Ashina Zhuxie was still not irritated. Instead, her thin lips pursed into a line, she pursed her lips slightly, as if showing a smile, and said: "You do look a bit like -"

"what?"

"nothing,"

Ashina Zhuxie drank up the broth in the bowl in one gulp, then put down the empty bowl and said, "Since you are so concerned about the war, I can tell you."

"..."

"Yes, we were originally going to send additional troops to Taiyuan, but because we encountered some accidents, we were unable to arrive at Taiyuan as planned. And now Taiyuan has been lost."

"fall!?"

These two words made Shang Ruyi suddenly open his eyes.

Ashina Zhuxie looked at her with a shocked and bewildered expression, and said calmly: "Yes, Taiyuan City is no longer in our hands."

"..."

Shang Ruyi's breath hitched.

But she didn't say anything immediately. Instead, she sat there stiffly. The already sore muscles and bones around her body felt inexplicably severe pain at this time. The pain made her take a deep breath, and then she regained some heartbeat, and then She looked up at Ashina Zhuxie and whispered, "Can I ask how that battle was fought?"

Ashina Zhuxie looked at her face that suddenly turned pale again and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"of course can."

"..."

"I also sent people to inquire about the news. That night - the night we caught you, there was a sudden commotion in Taiyuan City; someone opened the city gate inside the city, and the people who had been ambushing outside the city took advantage of that If you have the opportunity, cooperate with the people inside and kill them."

"..."

"Now, Taiyuan has been recaptured by the Yuwen family."

As he spoke, he curled his lips again, looked at Shang Ruyi's pale face, and said with a confused look in his eyes: "I just don't know whether the people who captured Taiyuan were the people who ambushed me in Mengyang, or you. My husband——Yu Wenye."

"..."

"What do you think?"
