Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1076 The Rumor Is Wrong
"Ha ha ha ha……"

A burst of unbridled laughter made the reed fluff that was already floating in the air fly even more disorderly, and made the sky, which had not yet fully brightened, become somewhat dim again. Yuwen Ye raised his head slowly with a sullen face, and saw Shi Yutao walking towards him on horseback, holding an axe.

Across the crowd, he accurately met Yuwen Ye's cold gaze.

Seeing the other party surrounded by his men like a bird in a cage, Shi Yutao's smile became even more smug. He walked to the outer edge of the encirclement and stopped a few feet away, smiling, "I didn't expect that we would meet again."

These words were naturally spoken to Shentu Tai who was standing in front of Yuwen Ye.

Shentu Tai held the long spear, blocking Yuwen Ye like a tall mountain, but did not fight back immediately. Instead, he looked at the soldiers surrounding them, and said coldly: "Didn't expect it?"

This is, of course, ironic.

When they were lying in ambush in the reeds just now, they were too nervous and worried that there might be a fight. Shi Yutao held the axe too tightly, and the wound on the palm of his hand broke again. The bandage wrapped around his hand was also soaked with a faint blood color - how could he "not have expected" such an ambush?
Shi Yutao raised his eyebrows slightly, of course it was impossible for him not to expect to meet again so soon, he came here for this, but he didn't expect that a rough man like Shentu Tai would actually find fault with people's words - however, on the battlefield, mistakes in actions are much more fatal than mistakes in words. Compared with one loophole in action, he would rather let people pick out ten thousand loopholes in his words.

But now, he was surrounded by his own people, and it was useless to find faults. So he laughed loudly and said, "I was wrong. It's not that I didn't want to meet again, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to meet again."

The faces of the soldiers surrounding Yuwen Ye all darkened.

Even though they could not understand the previous words in their panic, the last sentence was too clear to them. Shi Yutao did not mean that it would be so easy to meet again, but that it would be so easy to surround them.

Seeing the other party's face change drastically, Shi Yutao felt that the frustration he had felt on the battlefield yesterday was swept away, and he suddenly felt relieved.

He looked at Yuwen Ye, who remained calm and seemed to be holding his breath, and then smiled and said, "I never thought that I would be able to 'meet' His Royal Highness the King of Qin, General Tiance of the Great Sheng Dynasty, so soon."

This sentence was obviously directed at Yuwen Ye.

Shentu Tai clenched the long spear in his hand tightly, and his finger bones crackled. At this moment, Yuwen Ye's calm and somewhat cold voice sounded behind him: "I didn't expect that it would fall into your hands."

"Hahahaha, there are so many things you can't imagine."

Hearing the word "unexpected", Shi Yutao became even more proud and said with a smile: "You definitely can't imagine that we have already found out about the food shortage at Hulao Pass."

"Oh?"

"So, you will come to the North Shore to herd horses, but in order to avoid being discovered by us, you will bring very few people with you."

"..."

"And I built a floating bridge downstream last night to cross the river. I have been here all night drinking the cold wind, waiting for your arrival. Fortunately, you did not let me wait in vain."

Hearing his smug words, Yuwen Ye frowned slightly, as if he was a little annoyed and a little angry. He was silent for a long time before saying, "I didn't expect that General Shi was so scheming. It seems that--"

As he spoke, he slowly shook the reins and took two steps forward.

As soon as he moved, the soldiers around him did not dare to neglect and hurriedly followed him forward; and as these people moved, the people holding them also moved a few steps, obviously not letting them escape at all, and everyone's movements were watched. Glancing at the vigilant looks of these people, Yuwen Ye pursed his lips and said, "It seems that the rumor is wrong."

"Rumors?"

These two words made Shi Yutao's heart move, and he subconsciously asked: "What rumor?"

Yuwen Ye said: "Young General, this actually has nothing to do with you. It's a rumor about your sister."

As he spoke, his eyes passed Shentutai's slightly twitching shoulders, and he saw the rising sun shining from behind Shi Yutao. The golden sunlight gave him a golden outline, and when the outline heard the word "sister", it also had a strange vibration. Shi Yutao frowned slightly: "My sister? What rumors about my sister?"

Yuwen Ye said: "Wazhou produced a female hero."

"what?"

Seeing Shi Yutao's frown tightening, Shen Tutai, who had been on guard and silent, said, "Your sister is so powerful in Hebei that even Liang Shide couldn't get any advantage from her. We originally wanted to meet her at Hulao Pass this time, but we didn't expect it to be you."

After hearing his words, Shi Yutao's expression changed several times.

However, because the sunlight behind him was too dazzling, even though his face changed drastically, it was completely hidden under the haze at this time. After a moment of silence, he raised his head, stared at Shen Tutai sharply, then looked at Yu Wenye, and sneered: "Then, I'm afraid your hopes will be dashed."

"..."

"It seems that my sister is not needed this time. I can let your Yuwen family first--"

Before he could finish his words, a sharp and piercing sound suddenly rang out in the air, and a cold light suddenly shot out from Yuwen Ye's back and shot straight into Shi Yutao's chest!
He was horrified and tried to dodge quickly, but everything happened too fast. The moment he turned sideways, the cold light had already pierced his shoulder!

A sharp pain almost made him fall off the horse!

"General!"

His men were stunned for a moment, seeing an arrow had shot him in the right shoulder. If he had not just slightly turned his body, the arrow would have hit him in the heart!

Everyone was shocked and subconsciously turned around to look at the direction where the arrow came from, but they saw countless cold lights flying towards them on the river beach which was gradually becoming brighter under the sunlight. Not only was there the sound of arrows breaking through the air in the wind, but there was also the sound of horses' hooves shaking the earth!

When he looked up, he saw that it was behind Yuwen Ye. The war horses that had just been frightened and fled in all directions were running back at this time. On the backs of the war horses were all armored and fully armed cavalrymen, with bows and arrows in their hands and long swords on their waists, galloping towards them.

It's an ambush!
Yuwen Ye had just brought those war horses here, but on the other side shrouded in darkness, his cavalry were lying in ambush!

Shi Yutao was horrified and shouted: "Quick--"

Before he uttered the word "retreat", arrows had already flown towards him like meteors. Screams were heard everywhere, drowning out his shouts. All the archers who had just been shooting arrows in the reeds were shot and fell to the ground.
