Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1075 How complicated can it be?
In the early morning, the air was filled with mist and the breeze was cool.

The vast and flat northern bank of the Yellow River was still shrouded in dark color. The last bit of darkness of the night shrouded the river bank like a hand that was reluctant to let go. Only the little bit of dawn shining through on the distant horizon gave a little faint light to those walking in the deepest darkness before dawn.

The dewdrops condensed on the tips of the grass were illuminated by the light, reflecting a faint, colorful light, twinkling like the bright stars in the distant sky.

However, as soon as the horse's hooves stepped on the ground, the light immediately scattered into the soil.

Yuwen Ye sat on the horse's back, watching the horses around him treading across the quiet grass, having already eaten up a large area, but it didn't look like they were grazing, but more like they were harvesting light. He shook the reins, letting the horse under him walk forward slowly and cautiously, and walked for about a quarter of an hour, then raised his head and looked to the east. The sky, which had just been a little pale, seemed to be torn apart by the heavy clouds, revealing a sharp orange blade.

It was the sun, struggling to cut a bigger gap in the clouds, gradually breaking free from the shackles of the night and casting a ray of light.

This little light was not enough to immediately dispel the darkness around him, but it was very dazzling in the gloomy dawn. Yuwen Ye immediately closed his eyes.

"Your Highness,"

As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard Shentu Tai's voice beside him. He turned his head and slowly opened his eyes, and saw Shentu Tai riding a horse closely beside him. Behind him, there were dozens of cavalrymen scattered around, looking after these hundreds of horses.

At this moment, Shentu Tai said softly: "Your Highness should rest more."

Horses cannot grow fat without night grass. Today, they crossed the river before dawn and came here to graze the horses. Although Yuwen Ye did not go to the battle yesterday, Shentu Tai knew that he did not sleep well in the past few days, and the lights were on in the big tent all night.

It was not only because the war in Luoyang was not over, but they had to face Xiao Yuansui's tens of thousands of troops at Hulao Pass, and there was also Shi Yuxin whose whereabouts were unknown.

More importantly, the whereabouts of Princess Qin.

Just one of these things weighing on one's mind is enough to make one anxious and overwhelmed, but Yuwen Ye now has to face several things at the same time. You can imagine the pressure in his heart. When he was looking at the rising sun just now, his eyes were almost bloodshot.

Yuwen Ye said: "It's okay."

As he spoke, he shook the reins and took two steps forward. The sun came out from behind the clouds a little more, and the surroundings became brighter. He could already faintly see the outline of Xiao Yuansui's camp in the distance on the other side of the river, like a tiger crawling on the ground. However, the tiger did not seem to be fully awake yet.

Yuwen Ye asked, "No news from Luoyang yet?"

Shentu Tai shook his head: "No. The earliest would probably be today at noon."

Yu Wenye nodded.

Shen Tutai said again: "Your Highness, if Shi Yuxin really leads those troops to attack Luoyang, then we here——"

They had no choice but to take action.

Yuwen Ye glanced at him and did not answer this obvious question. However, after a moment of silence, he said, "But I always feel that things are not that simple."

“……” Shentu Tai opened his eyes slightly.

Xiao Yuansui led 50,000 troops to sweep across Hebei, recruiting rebels and eventually led 120,000 troops south from Le Shou, but only 40,000 of them crossed the Yellow River to confront them, while Shi Yuxin was nowhere to be found; if she really brought the 80,000 troops to attack Luoyang, she could completely restrain them and help Xiao Yuansui and Liang Shide to activate the entire chess game of Dongdu.

This is already complicated enough, but Yuwen Ye is still saying that it is not that "simple"? !

How more complicated can it be?
Yuwen Ye glanced at him, probably understanding Shentu Tai's shock at this moment. He chuckled and said, "I am just speculating. If Shi Yuxin really goes to Luoyang, then we will naturally-"

As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers around him suddenly became nervous, and one of them rode over and said, "There's someone ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Ye and Shentu Tai both immediately looked forward. At this time, the sun broke away from the clouds and slowly rose. The sunlight dispelled the last of the haze and they could see a large grassland in front of them. The dewdrops reflected brilliant light. At the end of the grassland were reeds swaying in the wind, and behind the reeds was the rushing Yellow River.

Yuwen Ye frowned slightly and looked at the tall reeds on the shore, which seemed to be flashing with dense black shadows.

He immediately raised his hand, but before he could open his mouth, he saw a cold light shooting out from the reeds.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Shentu Tai shouted loudly, and as he roared, Yuwen Ye turned sideways, and the cold light whizzed past his shoulder and nailed directly into the open space behind him, sinking three feet into the ground!
It's a sharp arrow!
Immediately afterwards, several points of cold light flew over, and the soldiers on Yuwen Ye's side reacted very quickly. They immediately drew the swords at their waists, rode their horses to Yuwen Ye and waved their swords vigorously. Only the sound of "clang, clang, clang" was heard continuously, and the arrows were blocked and cut off by the swords and fell to the ground one after another.

Just as they were protecting Yuwen Ye, the reeds suddenly swayed violently.

With a whoosh, a long axe swept out violently, instantly cutting off a large area of ​​reeds. Immediately, the reed fluff flew like snow, and a horseman, as brave as a tiger, rushed out to charge!
It’s Shi Yutao!

He waved his hand, raised the axe in his hand and pointed it at Yuwen Ye, shouting angrily: "Kill him!"

This roar was like the roar of a tiger, and it instantly woke up the river bank, which still retained some of the silence of the night. Even the river water seemed to boil at this moment. Following the roar, a large group of people jumped out from the reeds behind him like hungry wolves and pounced on Yuwen Ye and his men!
For a moment, the river bank was filled with the sound of killing.

Seeing the other party rushing towards them like a hungry wolf, the horses that were just grazing on the river bank were frightened and all ran away.

Faced with such a situation, Shen Tutai showed no fear or panic. He immediately stood at the front with his spear across his body, turned his head and ordered the surrounding soldiers: "Protect His Highness!"

Before he could speak, these people, after repelling the first wave of arrows, immediately formed a circle around Yuwen Ye, and were about to protect him as he left. However, the horse under Yuwen Ye seemed to be frightened, neighing uneasily, shaking its head and snorting desperately. Yuwen Ye hurriedly tightened the reins to calm it down, but did not immediately turn the horse's head around and leave.

While they were hesitating, Shi Yutao's men had already rushed up quickly and surrounded them along both sides of the river bank.

After the cavalry rushed up, archers also came out from the reeds. They approached this side one after another, with arrows in their hands all resting on the bowstrings, and the sharp blades flashing with cold light were aimed at Yuwen Ye who was in the center of the crowd.

In the blink of an eye, they were trapped!
