Noble First Daughter-in-law

She had been living with Lei Yu for the past two days. Now that Prince Iasu is back, the couple will naturally live together, so someone immediately arranged another tent for Shang Ruyi to live in. Lei Yu was worried that the people here would have some influence on her. Hostility, specifically arranged not far from her.

Even so, she still kept Shang Ruyi in her tent. Firstly, the two of them could talk for a while. Secondly, when Iasu came back, he could get acquainted with Shang Ruyi. After all, one was One of her friends is her husband. She hopes that they can leave a good impression on each other, especially Shang Ruyi, who cannot stay in the grassland forever. She always hopes that Iasu can find a way to send Shang Ruyi back to the Central Plains. .

Just as the two people were whispering, Iasu came back.

When this little sun-like prince opened the curtain and walked in, he frowned and had a sad look on his face. He didn't know what kind of trouble he had encountered. When Shang Ruyi looked up, he felt inexplicably that there was something like this on his head. One pair of ears drooped.

However, as soon as Iasu entered the tent and saw Lei Yu, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Ayu!"

Shang Ruyi hurriedly stood up from the low table and saluted him. Prince Iasu also came up to her with a smile and nodded, saying: "Are you still reminiscing about old times? Did I disturb you? ? Otherwise, I’ll go out first and then take a walk.”

He said that, but his eyes only lingered on his wife, and he couldn't bear to leave for a moment. He said this in a very aggrieved way. Lei Yu said angrily: "What is there to see outside?"

"Then, shall I stay?"

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "I'd better go."

After speaking, he was ready to leave.

Although she said this, she was actually a little bit unable to let go. It was not that she meant to disturb the couple's gathering, but that she had just been worried about Ashina Zari summoning the two princes and several other ministers. What exactly are you going to do when you go to the king's tent? Is it to use troops against the south?

Now, seeing Iasu back, she couldn't help but want to find out.

Sure enough, Lei Yu also said: "Don't leave in a hurry yet."

Shang Ruyi understood what she meant, so he could only be "shameless" and return to her in a good-natured manner. Lei Yu whispered: "I still have to explain your matter to him."

After saying that, he turned to look at Iasu: "Why were you looking so sad just now? Did something happen in the king's tent?"

"Uh--"

Iasu was suddenly told what was on his mind, and his expression became even more sad.

Lei Yu said: "Say it."

Iasu thought about it again, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, I'll tell you. You will know it soon anyway."

As he said that, he looked at Lei Yu: "Father Khan, we want to go south to use our troops."

"..."

Lei Yu and Shang Ruyi immediately looked at each other.

The ominous premonition turned into reality, making Shang Ruyi feel heavy-hearted and speechless for a moment. Only Lei Yu frowned and said: "Khan, you want to attack Taiyuan?"

Iasu shook his head.

"...!"

For a moment, both women held their breath at the same time.

Shang Ruyi almost couldn't help but ask, but she held it back in the end, but the uneasiness in her heart came after waves, beating on her chest like a tide, making her heartbeat become heavier.Lei Yu's face became more solemn, and he said solemnly: "Not Taiyuan? Then where will Khan attack?"

Iasu said: "Daxing. That is -"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Shang Ruyi, and Shang Ruyi's face suddenly turned pale, as if he had lost all his blood. His pupils trembled and he murmured hoarsely: "Chang'an."

"..."

"Zhali Khan, want to attack Chang'an?"

Iasu nodded.

The most disturbing nightmare, or in other words, the thing that you least want to happen, is really about to become a reality and happen before your eyes.

As expected, Ashina Zari refused to admit defeat easily. Being recaptured Taiyuan only ignited his anger. However, this time, he would no longer be entangled in places like Taiyuan, but would directly attack the capital of the newly born Dasheng Dynasty. Got it!
If the war is really brought directly to Chang'an, it will be a huge blow to the Dasheng Dynasty and the people.

Moreover, uncle and aunt...

The relatives I care about are all there!
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's heart became more and more anxious. Even the hand hanging by his side clenched his fist involuntarily, and his nails dug deeply into his palm. Although Lei Yu on the other side was also shocked by the news, After all, she had made some preparations in her heart, and unlike Shang Ruyi, she was worried about the overall situation, not a specific person, so she didn't feel that uncomfortable.

She looked at Iasu: "Then why did you look so ugly just now—"

Iasu glanced at Lei Yu, his expression was not only ugly, but he also said in embarrassment: "Father Khan wants me to lead the army on an expedition."

"what!?"

Lei Yu immediately opened his eyes wide.

She had not been married to the grassland for a long time, but she could clearly see that Iasu had been cared for and grown up by Khan Zali Khan and Mrs. Jia Yuan. Although he was a Turkic prince, he lived a carefree life. He even had the innocence of a child at that time. He had almost never participated in a war, had never been injured, and had never experienced the test of knives and swords, blood and fire.

Why is he suddenly asked to go on an expedition this time?

Moreover, it is still such an important battle!

Lei Yu said subconsciously: "This is too dangerous!"

This is too dangerous for both Chang'an and the husband in front of me!

Iasu hesitated for a moment, then continued: "So, my father Khan ordered my brother to hand over his heavy armored cavalry to me and let me command them."

"what?!"

The shocking news came one after another, like huge boulders, which shocked the two women in the tent. However, compared with the two just now, this news is not that worrying. Lei Yu is here. Apart from being shocked, he even breathed a sigh of relief.

The heavy armored cavalry was handed over to Iasu. Although it was unexpected, it was good news.

After all, as long as you go on an expedition, there will be certain dangers, and the presence of heavy armored cavalry can, at a minimum, ensure Iasu's safety.

But sending troops to Chang'an...

Thinking of this, Lei Yu felt confused again. She glanced at Shang Ruyi's heavy and worried expression, then looked at Iasu, and whispered: "Does this battle have to be fought?" Iasu blinked. : "I know what you are worried about. In fact, I don't want to fight. And -"

"And what?"

Iasu said softly: "I think my brother is not willing to hand over the heavy armored cavalry."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yu's heart suddenly moved again. Shang Ruyi on the other side also immediately caught something keenly. She looked up at him and saw Iasu continuing: "Just after Father Khan raised this matter, My brother has been refusing to speak, and I also advised my father. After all, the heavy armored cavalry is my brother's mother's clan - in short, if he is to be handed over, he will definitely feel uncomfortable."

Lei Yu immediately said: "If he doesn't hand it over, the Khan will let him go?"

"of course not,"

Iasu shook his head: "Mother, as well as Mr. Shi Shuanyi, they all tried to persuade his brother, but he never let go. Later, he angered his father and had to drag him down and whip him. Fortunately, the other few Your Excellency stopped me, and I also begged for mercy for my brother, so Father Khan let him go."

"..."

"However, Father Khan also said that he must hand over whether he wants to hand over or not, because this time the Taiyuan army was defeated. General Pasha and others were all whipped, but he was the only one who did not. But he sent troops and returned without success. That is It is a crime, so this time we send troops to Chang'an, we will not let him go again, but the heavy armored cavalry cannot be idle."

"..."

"Then, my brother said, give him a day to think about it - actually, it's also preparation."

"..."

"Tomorrow, he will hand over the heavy armored cavalry to me."

Shang Ruyi and Lei Yu looked at each other again, but there was a bit of clarity in their complicated eyes.

Iasu said that Mrs. Jia Yuan and Shi Shu Anyi were all trying to persuade Ashina Zhu Xie. I am afraid that this persuasion was not persuasion. Even after seeing the Daye Dynasty reach its final stage, Chu Chengfei was forced to abdicate. After that court battle, Shang Ruyi could imagine what kind of tense scene there was in the royal tent of the Western Turks just now.

But, Ashina Zhuxie still accepted his fate?

Tomorrow, he is going to hand over to Iasu the only thing left to him by his mother clan, the heavy armored cavalry that can determine his status on the grassland and even keep him as a prince?

An indescribable, almost ethereal thought suddenly appeared in Shang Ruyi's heart.

Looking at Iasu's frowning expression, Shang Ruyi also felt a little distressed. For a person of his kind, faced with such a fight, between blood relatives, and he was still involved in it, he was afraid that It tastes bad.

At this time, it’s hard to make him troubled any more.

So, she whispered to Lei Yu: "Let's talk about my matters later. You guys, please discuss your matters first. I'll go back first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

As soon as the tent door was closed, Iasu's gentle voice was heard from the tent: "Ayu..."

Shang Ruyi smiled faintly, but then turned his head and looked at the wide tent in front of him and the endless grassland outside the tent, and the expression on his face became solemn and tense again.

Especially the cold wind blowing in the face, mixed with the sound of heavy footsteps.

As soon as Shang Ruyi looked up, he saw a familiar, tall figure walking out of the king's tent on the high platform. He was tall and tall, but his shoulders were as tight as a bow stretched to its limit, especially his His face was even gloomier than the sky at that moment.

It's Ashina Zhuxie.

The great prince of the Western Turks.

I saw him walking down step by step, followed by several ministers with serious expressions on their faces. They were whispering to each other, obviously discussing countermeasures, but Prince Zhu Xie remained silent. It wasn't until he approached his own tent that he almost subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the tent here.

Then, I saw Shang Ruyi.

The moment their eyes met, Shang Ruyi saw his sinister and cold eyes.

"...!"

Somewhere in his body twitched.

The next moment, Ashina Zhuxie lowered his head, as if nothing happened or saw anything. He lifted the tent and approached his tent. When several other ministers were about to follow him, , but seemed to be blocked by his opening. Several people froze there and looked at each other for a while. They could only shake their heads and sigh in confusion, and left his tent.

The curtain fell, leaving only silence.

Shang Ruyi, whose body was also a little tense and stiff, stood quietly, motionless. After a long time, he slowly lowered his head and looked at his hand and the tip of his little finger that had long lost consciousness. .

This is where the twitch just occurred.

The moment she met Ashina Zhu Xie's eyes, as the tip of her little finger that had lost consciousness twitched, a dusty memory suddenly came to life in her mind.

Speaking of which, her little finger had been scarred since she was a child. She had been injured once before the fight with those beggars was interrupted.

She vaguely remembered that when she was a child, when she was traveling with her father in the Turks, she once watched people on the grassland round up a falcon. Because they wanted to capture the fierce big guy alive, the archers of the East Turks fired arrows. The eagle's wings were injured, and the eagle, which was larger than a human, screamed and fell down.But even though there was an arrow stuck in its wings and it was bloody, the eagle still struggled unyieldingly. If anyone approached, it would stretch out its sharp claws and even its sharp beak to peck the person.

In the end, they could only cover it with a large net so that it could no longer hurt anyone.

Seeing that the eagle was firmly pinned to the ground, Shang Ruyi became bold and walked over to reach out to touch it.

Unexpectedly, just when the adults gently lifted a corner of the net and prepared to catch the eagle's wings, the eagle suddenly opened its mouth and pecked Shang Ruyi's little finger. Blood immediately flowed out and she started to cry in pain.

At that time, his father immediately pulled back and hugged him to comfort him.

But the falcon took advantage of that moment to break free from the snare and pecked several people. In the end, it flapped and was injured. Its bloody wings rose into the sky again and flew away desperately.

Shang Ruyi clearly remembered that the moment the eagle was entangled in the net and raised its head to peck him, its eyes were exactly the same as those of Ashina Zhu Xie just now!
Yes, delusional?
However, looking at the tent that became quiet after the tent door was closed, it felt as if his heart was frozen for a moment. Shang Ruyi couldn't figure out whether he had seen it wrong at that moment. He only felt a little bit of misty thoughts in his heart. It trembled again.

She turned her head thoughtfully and walked step by step towards the small tent prepared by the maids for herself.

Although the distance was not far, she walked very slowly, and as she walked, she looked around. The princes and nobles who had just gone to the king's tent had all come out, some gathered together in twos and threes to talk, and some frowned. After leaving, I looked ahead. Inside and outside those densely packed tents, there were all Turkic soldiers, making fires to cook, and riding horses to train troops. They were no different from usual.
The more Shang Ruyi looked at it, the more doubts he had in his heart became heavier.

Something, something is wrong.

Today, the two chapters are merged into one chapter.
