Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1079 The whereabouts of Princess Qin!

"Shi Yuxin..."

Upon hearing this name, Shen Tutai's expression darkened again: "Your Highness, what do you think is wrong with her?"

Yuwen Ye asked: "Do you remember what Shi Yutao said just now?"

"just?"

Shentu Tai couldn't help but frowned, and tried his best to recall. Although there was chaos on the north bank just now, he was not as panicked as others. He also remembered the situation when Shi Yutao confronted them. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered: "He said that he didn't need Shi Yuxin, he could--"

Yuwen Ye said: "He said that he could deal with our Yuwen family first without his sister."

This time, Shentu Tai also heard the problem.

"First?"

Yuwen Ye looked up at him and said, "Yes, that's the 'first'. In other words, Shi Yuxin is doing something that can deal with our Yuwen family. But today he thought his ambush had waited for us and could catch all of us first, so he said that Shi Yuxin was not needed."

Shentu Tai frowned: "So, Shi Yuxin really went to Luoyang?"

Yuwen Ye's brows were knitted tighter than his. He was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe, but if it is really Luoyang, it is only Yan Jie. He should not mention our Yuwen family in his words."

"That--"

Shentu Tai was also confused.

At this time, a voice came from outside: "Your Highness, there is news from Luoyang."

Yuwen Ye immediately raised his head: "Come in!"

A soldier hurried in from outside and saluted the two of them. Yuwen Ye waved his hand and asked, "How is the situation in Luoyang?"

The soldier said, "Your Highness, our people went to Luoyang to inquire and found that His Highness the Prince of Qi is still leading his soldiers to attack Luoyang, but - it has been two days and the city has not been taken."

Yuwen Ye let out a deep breath.

He was not surprised that Yuwen Cheng failed to break the city. After all, Luoyang City was carefully managed by Chu Yang. The city was strong. Liang Shide was also no ordinary man. Of course, it was impossible for him to take it so easily. However, although he did not feel disappointed, his anxiety gradually grew.

He asked, "Are there any others who are helping or obstructing the battle?"

The soldier said, “No.”

"Where's Cijian?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi only left a few hundred people to guard Cijian, but Liang Shide was busy taking care of himself, and Cijian did not encounter any accidents."

"..."

This could be considered good news. There was even a hint of smile in the soldier's eyes when he said this. But when he looked up at Yuwen Ye and Shentu Tai, he found that both of them had become serious, as if he had brought some bad news.

He subconsciously asked, "Your Highness? General Shentu?"

Both of them were silent for a moment, and Shen Tutai waved his hand: "Go down and claim your reward."

The soldier bowed and saluted, then turned and left the tent with a lot of doubts. As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the tent became even more depressing. At this moment, even Shentu Tai felt something was wrong. He stepped forward and looked at the map that Yuwen Ye had spread on the table, only to find that it was not a map of the Hulao Pass area, but a large map. Yuwen Ye's hand on the map seemed to be pointing to a place in the Eight Passes of Taihang Mountains, intentionally or unintentionally.

Shentu Tai said: "Your Highness, do you think Shi Yuxin will go--"

At this moment, the vague uneasiness in his heart finally became like a huge rock that fell from the sky, piercing through the layers of fog and hitting his heart heavily, causing Yuwen Ye's breathing and heartbeat to stop for a moment. He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Besides me in Hulao Pass and Yan Jie in Luoyang, where else in the world can we find people from the Yuwen family?"

"...!"

Shen Tutai suddenly widened his eyes: "Your Highness, you mean, long——"

At this moment, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside, even more hurried than the person who had just reported the news from Luoyang. But when they reached the big tent, they were stopped by the guards. They only heard the man shouting, "Your Highness!"

Yuwen Ye seemed to sense something and immediately said, "Come in!"

Another soldier hurried into the tent from outside. He was dressed the same as the previous one, and he was a scout who was out to get information. However, his face was weathered and he looked much more tired. However, his red eyes did not show any slackness, but were full of tension and panic. When he saw him, Shentu Tai immediately recognized that this was the person who was sent by Yuwen Ye to find out the whereabouts of the Qin Princess.

Although the soldier looked hurried, he still saluted Yuwen Ye when he walked in.

Yuwen Ye immediately said, "No need to be polite. What's the situation?"

The soldier said, "Your Highness, I have found out the whereabouts of the princess!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Ye's eyes lit up, and he heaved a sigh of relief. Since he had found out where Shang Ruyi was, it proved that she was safe for the time being. But the next moment, he immediately leaned forward and asked, "Where is she now?"

The soldier said, "In Huyang Valley."

"Huyang Valley?"

Upon hearing these three words, a sharp light immediately flashed in Yuwen Ye's eyes, and his expression became more solemn. Shentu Tai on the side instinctively looked at the map spread out on the table. Huyang Valley was located in Huaizhou, not far from the direction Yuwen Ye had just pointed. It was a very narrow place, and militarily it was easy to defend but difficult to attack. After passing Huyang Valley, you could enter Shangdang.

The Shangdang...

In an instant, he seemed to understand something and immediately asked, "What is the princess doing in Huyang Valley?"

The soldier said, "The princess is in Huyang Valley, fighting fiercely with the enemy."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Ye's expression changed completely. He immediately stood up and walked in front of the soldier. His tall figure was like a mountain pressing down on his head, and the soldier instinctively held his breath. Yuwen Ye walked in front of him and said with a sullen face, "Enemy, what kind of enemy? How many people are there? How is she doing now?"

The soldier said hurriedly, "There is a group of people from Hebei who suddenly came south. There are about 70,000 to 80,000 people, and the leader is a woman."

Yuwen Ye and Shentu Tai looked at each other, and a cold light flashed in the eyes of both of them.

The soldier went on to say, "The princess only has a few hundred men under her command, but they have the advantage of the terrain. When we went there, they had already been defending for three days. But her troops were almost defeated, and their food and grass were almost exhausted. As soon as we arrived, we would immediately -"

Before he could finish his words, he felt a figure flash before his eyes.

The next moment, Yuwen Ye had already walked out of the tent. When the soldiers and several lieutenants outside saw him walking out with a sullen face, they all thought that he had some plan to fight the enemy, and hurriedly came forward to greet him: "Your Highness?"

Yuwen Ye said in a deep voice: "Gather the troops and follow me to the battle!"
