Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1061 You Almost Tried Me

Yuwen Ye half-knelt on the ground, still protecting Nie Chong in his arms, with one hand pressing hard on the wound, blood flowing down his arm, also dyeing half of his body blood red. Against the backdrop of such blood, Yuwen Ye's whole body was cold and sharp, like a sword covered with blood, even though it had not been unsheathed, it was already sharp.

He said coldly: "You are waiting for your ambush."

Hearing the word "ambush", the people who were restrained by Yuwen Ye's men also gasped, obviously not expecting Yuwen Ye to know, and Shan Shiyu's eyes suddenly dimmed a little - Yuwen Ye knew, which meant...

At this moment, a whistle suddenly sounded in the dark night, and the sound came from the direction where Master Shan had just looked expectantly.

At this moment, his heart sank.

Although he could not see anything and there was only a distant whistle in the night, he was well versed in the tactics of war and understood immediately that the ambush troops he had arranged around him had been captured by Yuwen Ye's men. The whistle was a secret signal.

Regret, unwillingness, anger, despair, like several poisonous snakes entwined around him, biting deeper into his heart. Shan Shiyu took a few deep breaths before suppressing these emotions. He raised his head and looked at Yuwen Ye. The blood-red on the other's body also stained his eyes. He said solemnly: "How, how did you see that?"

Yuwen Ye said calmly: "I didn't see that."

"..."

"You did it very carefully. In order to deceive Shan Tong'er and Mu Xian, you didn't even tell the people around you in advance. So you imprisoned those who tried to stop you from surrendering in front of them, just to get them to come back and tell me so that I could rest assured."

"..."

"even--"

As he spoke, Yuwen Ye looked up at the soldiers behind him. At this time, feelings of uneasiness had slowly accumulated, making those people more and more ready to make moves. However, the good army was being restrained, and several generals were being detained. Without a leader and military orders, they not only dared not act rashly, but were also afraid of the consequences of being at the mercy of others after acting rashly. What's more, they came here tonight to surrender, so they could only keep making uneasy noises, but no one stepped forward.

Yuwen Ye slowly withdrew his gaze and said, "You didn't even tell them."

"..."

"Because only in this way can you deceive me."

Shan Shiyu gritted his teeth and said, "Unfortunately, all I did still failed to deceive you."

Yuwen Ye said: "You almost fooled me."

"...!"

Shanshiyu's breath was choked, and he stared at him with wide eyes: "Then——"

Yuwen Ye said: "You only overlooked one thing, which is your age."

"..."

"At your age, you must already have a wife and children."

"..."

"You and Shan Tong'er got to know each other for a whole night. Apart from telling him that you wanted to surrender to us, you also had some time to talk about your family and your experiences over the years. But from beginning to end, I didn't hear Shan Tong'er and Nie Chong mention anything about you."

"..."

"So I was wondering if you deliberately didn't mention it so that no one would notice it." "..."

"So I sent people to Luoyang and your former base to investigate overnight. We immediately found out that you have a wife, a son, and two concubines. However, these people are now in Luoyang City and are being 'protected' by Liang Shide."

Shan Shiyu's face suddenly turned pale.

The small body of the kind boy standing beside him shook, as if he was about to fall down at any time.

Yuwen Ye glanced at him and said nothing. He then turned to Shan Shiyu and said, "It is for this reason that Liang Shide dared to hand over so many troops to you and asked you to guard the most important Hulao Pass in the north of Luoyang. Since your wife and children are in Luoyang City, how could you decide to surrender to us without any scruples?"

Shan Shiyu was speechless.

Because everything he did was predicted by Yuwen Ye.

He had set up this plan since he recognized Shan Tong'er on the battlefield and heard what Shan Tong'er whispered, guessing that he would find a way to see him. However, he also knew that Shan Tong'er was ignorant of the ways of the world and was naive, so he might be easy to deceive, but the people he brought might not be. Even if he could really deceive their people, Yuwen Ye was a good fighter and even more skilled in calculations. If he didn't make adequate preparations, he would definitely not be able to deceive him.

Therefore, he did not tell anyone in advance, because these people might reveal their flaws in front of Shan Tong'er if they were not careful, and Yuwen Ye was such a careful person, he would definitely ask clearly when he returned. If he was discovered by him, all his efforts would fail.

He was confident that he had done everything possible, but he didn't expect that he couldn't and had no way to fix this biggest loophole.

After a long sigh, Shan Shiyu raised his head again. His eyes had calmed down, but they were as cold and lightless as dead ashes. He looked at Yuwen Ye woodenly: "Now I have lost and fallen into your hands. What are you going to do? Kill me?"

The breathing of someone next to him immediately became heavy.

Yuwen Ye looked at him coldly: "Now, I won't kill you."

"..."

"Since you didn't tell the people at Hulao Pass that your surrender was just a trick, that means they are now also preparing to surrender to our Great Sheng Dynasty."

"..."

"I need to bring you there alive to recapture Hulao Pass."

As for what would happen after the recovery, he did not say.

No one knows either.

Shan Shiyue understood that his life and everything were in the hands of the other party. He did not struggle anymore, nor said any extra words. He was just dragged up from the ground by Shentu Tai. One of his arms hung down limply, and the severe pain made his eyes red. The other party had no intention of curing him at all, as if he was just a corpse with life still in it, and he just regarded himself as a corpse.

It was not until he stood up that his eyes finally met the red eyes of the kind boy beside him.

When he was talking to Yuwen Ye just now, every word was full of Shan Tong'er, but it had nothing to do with him. He was just a tool who was trusted and used.

When Shan Shiyu saw him, he wanted to look away, but he could feel his gaze always on him, as if he wanted to see clearly, or as if he wanted to ask clearly, but he never opened his mouth. After calling Nie Chong, it was as if something was taken away from him. Until now, it seemed as if only a shell was left standing there motionless, which could collapse at any time.

Shan Shiyu's Adam's apple rolled up and down. He looked at his brother whom he had met again after a long separation but whom he had used the moment they met again. He wanted to say something.

But before he could open his mouth, Yuwen Ye beside him suddenly called out, "Nie Chong!"
