Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 936 Making wedding clothes for others

Shang Ruyi was shocked and looked at him with wide eyes in disbelief.

Lou Yingxiong committed suicide out of fear of crime!
She immediately got out of bed, sat next to Yu Wenye, and said in a low and tense voice, "Did you really hang yourself?"

"..."

"Could it be——"

Yu Wenye turned to look at her, with a twinkle in his eyes - this was exactly what he was thinking when he heard the news, but he didn't ask the little eunuch who came to deliver the news. After listening silently, he asked Chang Wan to reward him with a silver coin and then turned back. At this moment, when he heard Shang Ruyi ask the same question, he thought for a while and said, "Even if it is not suicide, nothing else can be found."

"..."

"They don't mess around with things."

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.

The "they" Yu Wenye said refers to the prince and the people around him. Yesterday's incident led to Lou Yingxiong's arrest, but the emperor did not punish him immediately. Instead, he was imprisoned. Obviously, he wanted to continue the interrogation, but this created new problems. In addition to intercepting and killing Pei Xingyuan, Lou Yingxiong also Are there any other secrets?
Do these secrets have anything to do with the prince?
What to do if the trial comes out?

Therefore, the death of Lou Yingxiong, who had already lost the emperor's trust and was no longer allowed to lead the troops in this expedition to the Eastern Capital, would be beneficial to the prince regardless of whether it was voluntary or not. And if the prince really wanted him to die, regardless of whether he committed suicide voluntarily, was forced to commit suicide, or had someone do it, with the prince's methods, he would not leave any traces to give others a handle.

even--

Shang Ruyi suddenly thought that Yu Wenyuan did not interrogate him all night, but detained Lou Yingxiong for one night. What was the purpose?
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart, suddenly soaking through her limbs and bones. She couldn't help but shudder, and asked hurriedly: "How will your father handle this matter?"

Yu Wenye said: "The person is already dead, and he committed suicide out of fear of crime. In addition, the 'chief criminal' is at large, so there is no room for further investigation of this case."

As he spoke, he sighed softly and said, "So this matter can only be stopped here."

Shang Ruyi frowned: "But Pei Xingyuan, won't he never have a chance?"

"not necessarily."

"why?"

Yu Wenye smiled and shook his head: "You have always dreamed about something, but now you have forgotten it?"

"what!"

Shang Ruyi suddenly thought of something, took a deep breath, and whispered: "By the way, if it really happens this time-"

At this point, the two of them looked at each other. Shang Ruyi didn't say any more, but there was a twinkle in their eyes. Yu Wenye stretched out his hand to gather the clothes that were about to slip off her shoulders, and said, "We'll wait for Father's will."

The decree comes quickly.

In the early morning of the court, Yu Wenyuan issued an edict, appointing Yu Wenye as Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province, and led 30,000 elite troops to rescue Cijian, setting off five days later.

As soon as he heard the news, the big stone that had been weighing on his heart these days suddenly shattered into powder. Shang Ruyi first breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed happily and said to Yu Wenye: "That's great. ! This is really great!”

Finally, after the rain, the sky cleared up.

He was finally able to lead the troops on an expedition!

Looking at Shang Ruyi's eyes that were bent into two slits with laughter, Yu Wenye also smiled. This result was what he had been dreaming of these days, but now that it was really in front of him, he seemed very calm and just smiled. , his stern eyes were filled with restraint: "Yes, that's great."

After the initial joy, Shang Ruyi immediately felt his calmness. Of course, Yu Wenye was not a person who showed his emotions to begin with, and the more serious changes he encountered, the calmer he became.

It's just that there seems to be some other emotions in his calmness at the moment.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, and then said: "But, starting again in five days? Is it too long?"

Yu Wenye glanced at her and said, "My father originally ordered us to send troops out in three days."

"Then what-?"

"It's me who said that the army needs to be fully prepared for the expedition. It will take five days before setting off."

"Ok?"

Shang Ruyi immediately felt something was wrong and looked at Yu Wenye with a somewhat surprised expression: "Why?"

Yu Wenye looked at her: "What do you think?"

The initial joy was like a tide, surging just now, but now it gradually faded from Shang Ruyi's heart, and reason once again took over his mind. Shang Ruyi thought about Yu Wenyuan's will again, and immediately said: "This time, I only gave you 30,000 horses?"

You know, Yu Wenye only brought 50,000 troops and horses to Fufeng before, but another 100,000 troops were already waiting for him in Fufeng. Although later, 80,000 troops were lost in Xue Xian's army before they arrived in Fufeng. In his hands, at least tens of thousands of troops were left for him to dispatch.

But this time - from the letter sent back by Shen Tutai, we know that almost all the troops led by Yu Wencheng were lost. Only those retained by Shen Tutai and Shen Wuzheng, even if they were all reunited with Yu Wenye's troops, would not exceed five Ten thousand.

In this case, how to go to Luoyang to compete with an army of more than 100,000 people?

Looking into Yu Wenye's deep eyes, Shang Ruyi frowned and said solemnly: "You want to ask your father for more troops, so you delay the expedition?"

Yu Wenye shook his head and said: "At present, the imperial court can only mobilize this group of people at most. If the guards of the capital are too weak-"

At this point, his tone darkened.

Shang Ruyi immediately understood that after all, the world was in chaos. Even if Yu Wenyuan had inherited the unification, he was still proclaiming emperor in a corner of Guanzhong. In addition to Luoyang, the biggest enemy, there were actually many separatist forces around him. Even if he was not threatened , but also beware of them taking advantage of the situation.

What's more, there is a Turk hanging above their heads like a knife.

Recalling Ashina Zhuxie who had fought against them before, Shang Ruyi felt even more chilled.

Therefore, the 30,000 yuan that Yu Wenyuan gave him was already the money that the imperial court could afford. If the attack on the eastern capital failed again this time, it would be difficult for Yu Wenyuan to send troops to the east in the short term.

Shang Ruyi said: "Then, what are you delaying for these days?"

Yu Wenye glanced at her and said: "I am the Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province, the imperial court. Naturally, I go on an expedition for the imperial court, but -"

"But what?"

"But I, Yu Wenye, can't make wedding clothes for others every time, especially this time. I have to risk my life!"

When people go to the battlefield, they naturally have to fight tooth and nail, but Shang Ruyi understands that this time is harder to fight than any other battle in the past, and they have to fight tooth and nail.

and so--

She opened her eyes and looked at Yu Wenye: "You, do you want to--"
