Noble First Daughter-in-law

Just when Shang Ruyi stopped to watch, a maid walked up to her and stretched out her hand -

"Your tent is over there."

She thought Shang Ruyi couldn't find her place to live, so she kept standing there and looking around. Shang Ruyi didn't say anything. He only thanked her in a low voice, then quickened his pace and walked into the small tent.

The tent for her to stay alone was naturally not as comfortable and gorgeous as Lei Yu's tent, but it was also clean and tidy. Shang Ruyi walked to the bed and sat down. The mattress was soft and dry, but this kind of comfort could not make her relax. , On the contrary, she rubbed the soft quilt with her palms, and one of her heartstrings became tighter.

Not only that, Ashina Zhu Xie's sinister eyes were still in front of her eyes.

That look made her uneasy.

But amid the uneasiness, there seemed to be some inexplicable emotions surging.

Because she lived alone in this tent, she was naturally not as free as when she was with Lei Yu. Shang Ruyi couldn't go out for a walk anymore, but she walked to the door every once in a while, opened the tent and took a look outside to see the scenery outside. Still, patrolling soldiers would pass by from time to time, but no one bothered her.

When she walked to the door again, as soon as she raised the curtain, she saw a familiar figure walking right in front of her.

"Well!"

Shang Ruyi was stunned, the person in front of him was Lei Yu.

Lei Yu was about to reach out and lift the curtain when he saw her standing inside, facing each other. Although she was a little surprised, she didn't seem too surprised that Shang Ruyi would stand at the door and look out. She was just surprised. She nodded and walked into the tent.

When she came in and saw the simple furnishings, she couldn't help but frown.

"How can you live like this?"

Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "I am Princess Qin of the Dasheng Dynasty, not your Turkic princess."

"..."

"This kind of accommodation is already very good."

Lei Yu was still dissatisfied and said, "I'll ask someone to bring a few more things over and put them out for you. Also, it's cold here at night, so just one brazier won't be enough."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly grabbed her and said with a wry smile: "Please don't cause trouble."

"..."

"Khan Tsari just forgot to deal with me, not to spare me. If you send something to me directly and let him know that I, the daughter of an enemy, can not only live in Turks, but also live so comfortably, do you think he will?" Will let me live."

This makes sense, and Lei Yu immediately didn't dare to move.

After thinking about it, he just said: "That's all, but I have to get you two more braziers. You are afraid of the cold."

Shang Ruyi remembered that there was nothing wrong with her when she slept these two nights, but when she woke up, she would definitely cuddle up next to her. She was indeed afraid of the cold, so she smiled and nodded in agreement.

After laughing, the uneasiness in my heart gradually spread in the short silence.

She looked at Lei Yu - Iasu had just come back, and judging from how sticky he was just now, he was probably reluctant to leave his wife for a moment. Although Lei Yu was not as affectionate to him, it was better to separate after all. For a few days, the other party still went all the way to buy a bag of pepper just because of his words. How could the couple spend some alone time together?

But she came to find him so quickly.

So, Shang Ruyi said softly: "Do you have something to tell me?"

Lei Yu's expression also became serious.

She looked around and saw that there was really no place to sit and talk, so he pulled her to the bed and sat down.Before speaking, he glanced at the tent door, and then said: "You just wanted to look outside - did you also feel something was wrong?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath in his heart.

When it comes to generals, she doesn't know who is better than the carefree and even naive Prince Iasu, but Lei Yu, who was born as a general and would even follow his father on the battlefield, is definitely better. They are both stronger.

Therefore, she must have been able to see the abnormality in Western Turks at a glance.

I just don’t know if what I see is wrong is the same as what she sees.

Shang Ruyi said, "You mean—"

Lei Yu looked at her and said solemnly: "The three armies have not moved, food and grass go first."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's heart sank.

correct!

Since Ashina Zari has ordered the use of troops against Chang'an, and ordered Ashina Zhuxie to hand over the heavy armored cavalry to Iasu tomorrow, that is to say, according to his arrangement, this war should be imminent, and the army is also It's time to leave immediately.

And as Lei Yu said, the three armies have not moved, but food and grass go first.

Besides, for such a large-scale battle, not to mention preparing food and fodder, at least the people in this tent should have heard the news and started to prepare.

However, from the beginning to now, she saw that although these Western Turkic soldiers were also practicing, they were the same as usual, with no reinforcement and no other arrangements; while more people were still living their lives step by step. In my own life, making fires to cook, fetching water and chopping firewood, there is no tension at all about the impending war.

This really doesn't look like sending troops.

In other words, even if we really want to send troops, it is not that urgent.

But in comparison, what is more urgent seems to be the matter of asking Ashina Zhuxie to hand over the heavy armored cavalry.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, looked at Lei Yu with stern eyes, and whispered: "Although Khan Zhali said he would send troops to Chang'an, he did not show any signs of preparing for war. What he really started , but it seems to be about the ownership of heavy armored cavalry.”

Lei Yu's eyes flickered: "You think so too!"

"..."

"He seems to be using this war to force Zhu Xie to hand over the heavy armored cavalry to Iasu."

Shang Ruyi nodded heavily.

She had felt strange before. She could see that Zali Khan relied heavily on Prince Zhu Xie, but he was also very wary. How could he rest assured that such a son held the sharpest weapon on the grassland in his hand?

This time when Taiyuan fell, they only punished General Pasha, but let Ashina Zhuxie go just because he brought back Shang Ruyi, which was not like his style.

It turns out that the purpose is here.

The purpose of not punishing Prince Zhu Xie who returned without success was to use this to force him to hand over the heavy armored cavalry - after all, if he refused to give it out, the responsibility for losing Taiyuan would still fall on him, just like General Pasha. If he is punished, the person who executes him may not be willing to hold back. If he is really left alive or disabled, his cavalry will also be taken away.

Once the heavy armored cavalry is no longer in hand, Prince Zhu Xie, no matter how brave and good at fighting, is like a tiger whose claws have been cut off.

However, what is the sudden move of Zhali Khan?

Just when Shang Ruyi raised his head to ask, Lei Yuqia spoke at this moment, but lowered his voice and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "Actually, during the days when I was married to the grassland, I also listened to Iasu I said that since Zhali Khan was seriously injured in Yanmen County, his injury has never healed." Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately thought of the fact that he had just entered the tent the night before and heard that Zhali Khan A shrill roar caused by old wounds.

For someone like him, it must be extremely painful to roar like this.

You can see how serious the injury was.

At this moment, although she was reluctant, she couldn't help but recall the thunderous arrow shot by Yu Wenye in the midst of thousands of troops in Yanmen County. The shock that that scene brought to her, even though it had already passed. After so long, when I think back on it, I still can't help but feel my heart beat.

She murmured: "That's the Divine Arm Bow."

Lei Yu said: "Yes, it is not easy for an ordinary arrow to hit Chali Khan's eyes at such a long distance, but Feng Chen's arrow was indeed amazingly powerful. It not only blinded his eyes, but also blinded him." It left a scar on his mind."

"..."

"I've also heard some people say that Zhali Khan couldn't sleep for many years because of this injury. He could only rely on drinking... and even women to barely relieve the pain. But the more this happened, the worse his spirit became, and the injury It’s getting more serious.”

"..."

"Actually, I saw him fall off his horse while riding a few days ago. Although he was not seriously injured, I almost never saw him riding a horse again after that."

"..."

"This time, the heavy armored cavalry is suddenly in Iasu's hands. I think he might—"

Shang Ruyi said in a deep voice: "He wants Prince Iasu to be his heir."

Lei Yu took a deep breath.

For a while, the two were quiet.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath. In fact, after experiencing some things in the Yuwen family, she vaguely felt that Ashina Zari was probably considering passing the throne. After all, he was old and had never been Judging from his injury, he himself will also be worried about the sudden arrival, so he must consider the future of his son born to the woman he loves.

Prince Zhu Xie's background destined him to be unable to succeed the Khan.

But Iasu is kind-hearted, innocent and straightforward, so letting him ascend to the position of Khan, and letting Prince Zhu Xie hold a heavy army is like opening the door to a thief.

Therefore, remove Ashina Zhuxie's military power and hand over the most valiant and capable heavy armored cavalry to Iasu - no matter when this expedition to Chang'an is, but thinking about it, Ashina Zhuxie should also really want to fight. This battle allowed Iasu to get acquainted with this team, become familiar with it, and truly control this team, and Ashina Zhuxie could no longer recover.

This is his real arrangement!

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi let out another breath and subconsciously reached out to grab the mattress under her body. Although it was soft, it made her feel chilly.

It turns out that no matter where you go, as long as there is power, there will be people fighting for it.

Before, she thought that Ashina Zhu Xie and Yu Wenye were in a very similar situation. Now it seems that Yu Wenye's situation is still better. At least now, Yu Wenyuan has relied on this son and sent troops to go out. There is no difference in the number of troops they lead, it's just the final victory or defeat that determines which of them can succeed the crown prince.

And Zhali Khan is already completely suppressing Ashina Zhuxie.

She thought for a while and asked: "Then, does Prince Iasu know about this? What does he think?"

Lei Yu said: "I just mentioned this matter to him, but he didn't seem to be very willing. He was also worried that if Khan Zali Khan did this, it would disturb the feelings of their brothers - in his heart, the relationship between human and Human feelings seem to be more important than power, wealth, and everything else."

"..."

"In fact, he has always been a carefree child. Even if the war outside is about to burn down the tent, he will not worry."

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but smile.

It can be seen that Iasu is such a person. In his heart, there are only people he loves. Therefore, for Lei Yu to say a word, he ran to the grassland for days and nights without sleep to intercept Hu Shang. Just to buy a bag of pepper for her so that she can drink delicious mutton soup.

Such a man, as a husband, is almost every woman's dream.

But, as a Khan?
Almost the same as Shang Ruyi, Lei Yu was smiling at first, but then her smile gradually slowed down, and was gradually replaced by a hint of worry. She sighed softly, and then said: "However, Mrs. Jia Yuan. I’ve sent someone to ask him to come over and talk, and I think we should be discussing this matter as well.”

At this point, she frowned slightly and said: "I think it was not today that Zhali Khan thought of making him his heir, but he just started working on it recently."

"..."

"There are also Shi Shuanyi and several other ministers and nobles. I'm afraid they are also adding pressure on this matter now."

Shang Ruyi said: "If he inherits the position of Khan, his attitude towards the Central Plains -"

Lei Yu thought for a while and said: "He is very good to me. Although I can't guarantee that I can definitely influence his decision-making on the Central Plains, I think I can have a little say, even a little bit."

Shang Ruyi nodded.

In this way, Lei Yu's status is like the Princess of Thousand Cities of the Eastern Turks.

There is some benefit in having a woman who cares about her homeland and has feelings for the people of the Central Plains working in Turks, even if she cannot completely control the situation of the country, at least she can say a word or two.

Therefore, it would be more advantageous for them to allow Prince Iasu to successfully take over the heavy armored cavalry and then ascend to the position of Khan.

Just as he was thinking about it, Shang Ruyi lowered his eyes and suddenly saw Lei Yushang's flat belly. He suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, have you told him about your pregnancy?"

"what?"

Hearing Shang Ruyi's words, Lei Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Seeing her like this, Shang Ruyi immediately understood that she must only be focusing on the big things in front of her and forget about this happy event.

Sure enough, Lei Yu said: "I forgot about it!"

Shang Ruyi said: "Then you should quickly find an opportunity to tell him."

Lei Yu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Tomorrow, Ashina Zhuxie will hand over the heavy armored cavalry to him. Soon, Chali Khan will probably announce the successor, such an important matter. , it’s better not to let this little thing distract him.”

"..."

"I'll tell him when the overall situation is decided."

Seeing her serious look, Shang Ruyi could only nod.

So, the only problem right now is——

How will Prince Zhu Xie respond?
Thinking of the look in his eyes when he raised his head to look at her just now, that sinister and sharp look, as if a cornered animal was cornered, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but feel nervous.

Will Ashina Zhuxie sit still and wait for death?

Tomorrow, he will hand over the heavy armored cavalry. Will he really obediently hand it over with both hands?
Today, two chapters have been merged into one chapter.

Sorry for the late update today, because I have to help deal with some inheritance matters after the death of a relative, so I may be busy tomorrow. If the update is too late or there is no way to update, please forgive me.
