Noble First Daughter-in-law

Who captured Taiyuan?

When this question was placed in front of him, Shang Ruyi suddenly felt in a trance.

Although, the answer is self-evident.

Ashina Zhuxie said that he was ambushed in Mengyang. Thinking about it, it must be Han Wang Yuwen who was wrong.Previously, Yu Wenye and his subordinates had speculated on the war on the Eastern Front, and had predicted that Yu Wenzhen was likely to go to Mengyang to block the reinforcements from the Western Turks, because that was his mother's hometown.

Although this battle may delay his march to Taiyuan, he will still go.

Because, my heart is worried.

His feelings for Mrs. Dong, even though they were never mentioned or written on his face, were engraved in his heart.

Ke Yuwenye——

He is obviously not a carefree person.

Thinking of him and the scene in front of her, Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a familiar feeling for some reason. After thinking about it again, she remembered that the scene in front of her was so different from when she was in Jiangdu Palace and heard that the Yuwen family was in trouble in Taiyuan. resemblance.

At that time, although there were misunderstandings and misses between her and Yu Wenye, even so, Yu Wenye still went south to Jiangdu and rescued her after a narrow escape. Maybe at that time, he was thinking about himself.

But this time is different.

There was no misunderstanding or miss between them, but there was more resentment and hatred.

Today, he is no longer enough to be a worry in his heart, especially after he said those decisive words to him. How could a person as proud as him take him to heart?

It is even more impossible for him to give up attacking Taiyuan and win the crown prince position for his own sake.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his face. Although it was illuminated by the firelight, there was a bit of bone-chilling chill, even colder than the cold wind that cut his cheek.

Looking at her, Ashina Zhuxie couldn't help but frown slightly.

Shang Ruyi raised his head, looked at him with cold and penetrating eyes that seemed to be condensed with a layer of ice, and said calmly: "I don't know who captured Taiyuan, but it seems that it has nothing to do with me. After all, ——”

As she said that, she turned her head and looked to the south where the wind was blowing: "This place is at least several hundred miles away from Taiyuan."

Ashina Zhuxie looked at her and said, "Four hundred miles."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi remained calm, but his heartbeat dropped.

Already this far?

In other words, Ashina Zhuxie had already passed Mayi with her. No wonder she was surrounded by endless grasslands, and Ashina Zhuxie told her that without horses, food and direction, she would not be able to go back at all. ,indeed so.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath to calm down, then raised his eyes, and saw those sharp wolf eyes on the other side of the flame. Ashina Zhu Xie looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile, and said: "You want to know where we are now, right."

"..."

"Nothing I told you was a lie to you."

"..."

"You can't go back."

Compared with knowing that she had left Mayi, his declaration-like words did not shock Shang Ruyi too much. She just looked at Ashina Zhu Xie, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and her eyes showed A bit of doubt and inquiry.

Ashina Zhuxie said: "What's wrong?"

Shang Ruyi looked at him and said, "Why don't you kill me?"

Ashina Zhuxie smiled: "Why should I kill you?"

"Aren't we enemies?"

"Even though you are an enemy, I don't have to kill you. Besides, you are just a prostitute."

Nvliu, these two words made Shang Ruyi frown even more tightly, but she didn't bother to refute this person. She just said: "You arrested me but didn't kill me. Do you want to spend your life alive?" What am I here to do?"

"..."

Hearing these words, Ashina Zhu Xie's eyes flickered slightly.

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "What do you want to use me for?"

"..."

"Do you want to use me to threaten the Yuwen family?"

As his eyes flickered just now, Ashina Zhu Xie seemed to be distracted for a moment, but after hearing these words, he immediately regained his concentration. When he looked at Shang Ruyi, there was more smile in his eyes and said: "Use Are you threatening the Yuwen family? I have no such plan."

"..."

"After all, after we captured you, the Yuwen family continued to attack Taiyuan."

"...!"

These words were like a fist hitting Shang Ruyi's heart.

Although it was not too painful and not a fatal blow, it still made her heart sink at this moment - even Ashina Zhu Xie understood the meaning of Yu Wenye's continued attack on Taiyuan after he captured her. .

Therefore, oneself is worthless.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, suppressed the suffocating feeling, then put on a smile and said to him: "Since you know everything, why are you holding me and running so far? ?”

Ashina Zhuxie sneered: "What do you think?" "...!"

Shang Ruyi's breath was suffocated again.

The other party's meaningful smile and the suddenly sharp eyes at this moment made her think of a certain possibility.

The most miserable fate that a woman who falls into the hands of the enemy may encounter!
It was not that she had not been worried, but it had been several days since she fell into coma and woke up, and there was nothing strange about her body. The first time she woke up, she also looked at her clothes, and there were no signs of being touched.

If these people wanted to humiliate him while he was awake - after so long, he and his men did not mean it.

Moreover, it should not be my own illusion.

From the time he caught himself until now, except for knocking himself out, Ashina Zhuxie has always seemed to be very polite to him, although he always looks into it with a thoughtful look, intentionally or unintentionally. For her own sake, Shang Ruyi had only been with him for a few hours while she was awake. She had not yet fully figured out this person's character, but she also felt that she should be safe in this aspect.

So Shang Ruyi met his eyes and said calmly: "Say? You must want to use me for something, but I haven't figured it out yet."

Ashina Zhuxie smiled slightly: "Well, you will know."

|
After resting for a while, my strength recovered a lot.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ashina Zhuxie stood up and ordered the army to move on. Then everyone put out the bonfire, packed up the pots and dishes, and got on their horses to move on.

Shang Ruyi also stood up. When she turned around, she saw a soldier leading a horse up to her and handing the reins to her.

Shang Ruyi was stunned and looked up at Ashina Zhuxie who was standing aside.

Ashina Zhuxie said: "You should have recovered your strength after resting for so long."

"..."

"You don't think that I will carry you all the way to the dental tent."

"..."

of course not!

Moreover, I have long wanted to sit on a horse so intimately with a stranger, or even a hostile man, so it would be best if I could ride alone.

only--

She glanced at Ashina Zhu Xie with a complicated expression, but she saw that he got on his horse without any care, looked at her condescendingly, and said: "Although you have eaten and regained your strength, I just I also said that on the grassland, if you have no direction and no food, you won’t be able to go very far.”

"..."

"Besides, there are so many people here."

"..."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi tightened his grip on the reins and turned his head to look around.

Indeed, it would be easier for tens of thousands of men and horses to hunt down one of them on the grassland than to trample an ant to death. Even if one could brag about his riding skills in the Central Plains, it would be completely useless on the grassland.

Ashina Zhuxie added: "Unless you have the power of a divine shot like my husband."

Yu Wenye’s divine shooting power?

Shang Ruyi immediately remembered. What he was talking about should be that when he was in Yanmen County, Yu Wenye once shot and wounded the Western Turkic Khan Ashina Zari with an arrow. Even the opponent's Ming Dy was destroyed by that arrow. Only then did the crisis in Yanmen County be resolved.

Ashina Zhuxie also knew about this.

In fact, Shang Ruyi was not surprised. He knew that it was his father who was injured after all. She was just a little surprised. When Ashina Zhu Xie mentioned this matter, there was no natural anger or resentment, but a little A hint of admiration.

Is it your own delusion?
She glanced at him again and said calmly: "I don't have that kind of shooting power. The prince thinks highly of me."

After saying that, he stepped on the stirrups and got on the horse.

Ashina Zhuxie looked at her, smiled lightly and said, "Then, just follow."

After saying that, he whipped his horse and the horses under him immediately galloped towards the north. Shang Ruyi could only follow closely. Behind them, tens of thousands of cavalry also galloped together, and the sound of horse hooves was deafening. , as if stepping on a rolling thunder and flying across the grassland.

In this way, another day went by.

Although Ashina Zari said he would take her to Yazhang, Shang Ruyi knew very well that the capital of the Western Turks was Yingsuo, which was thousands of miles away from here. Just looking at the dry food they carried with them, he knew that they would never be able to get there. .

Moreover, judging from Ashina Zari's previous raid on Yanmen County and his attack on Taiyuan this time, he should have set up a temporary tent in the north of Mayi, not far from here.

So, on the evening of the third day, she heard the sound of gurgling water coming from ahead.

As soon as I looked up, I saw a golden river lying in front of me on the vast grassland in front of me. It was reflected in the golden light of the setting sun. On the other side of the river, two mountains were crawling on the ground like a tiger sitting on a dragon's lap. .

At the foot of the mountain, at the wide pass, densely packed camps can be faintly seen.

there is-

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but tighten her breath, and even her horse riding movements froze. Ashina Zhu Xie, who was walking beside her, seemed to feel something. He looked back at her and said, "We are here."

"……Oh."

Shang Ruyi responded.

She thought for a while, then turned to look at Ashina Zhuxie, only to see him looking intently ahead, almost eagerly, as if something he had longed for was finally close in front of him.

There is the Turkic tent!
