Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1126 Shi Yuxin was caught!

As soon as he saw it was her, Shen Wuzheng's bright eyes immediately dimmed.

In fact, Shen Wuzheng felt a little uneasy in his heart since Xiao Yuansui evacuated so easily just now, and even didn't even look back when he left. With his understanding of this person, and his attitude towards Shang Ruyi, he could more or less understand that since Xiao Yuansui could set an ambush tonight to lure Yuwen Ye into the trap, he would not let them rescue him so easily, and would not evacuate without any reluctance.

It turned out to be true. The person Yuwen Ye rescued was not Shang Ruyi, but Woxue.

At this moment, the breath that had sustained him throughout the night seemed to disappear all at once. Shen Wuzheng felt somewhat powerless. The anger and unwillingness in his heart surged, causing his eyes to turn red. He glared at Yuwen Ye hatefully.

As if sensing the resentment in his heart, Wo Xue hurriedly said, "Sir, it's my fault."

Shen Wuzheng didn't look at her.

Wo Xue continued, "Xiao Yuansui guessed that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin would break into his camp tonight to rescue the princess, so he took the princess away early in the morning and locked her up in his central army tent. He also set a trap in our tent. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has been seriously injured."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Lian Shan Tong'er also hurriedly looked back. When he had just led this group of monks to attack, he was only busy fighting with those people. Later, after protecting Yuwen Ye, he did not look back at him. In addition, it was dark at night, and only now did he see clearly that Yuwen Ye was hit on one of his shoulders. At this moment, blood was gushing out, and half of his body was stained red with blood.

He gasped, "You're badly hurt!"

It was not until this time that Yuwen Ye made a sound.

He did not explain or refute, but let out a deep breath. That sigh was a release of the tension that had been building since Hua Ziying shot the third arrow. It was also mixed with unspeakable resentment and anger. But he was silent for a long time, and finally said solemnly, "Tonight, I failed."

Upon hearing this, Wo Xue hurriedly said, "Your Highness——"

Yuwen Ye just turned his head slightly, his eyes swept across Shen Wuzheng's slightly relaxed but still solemn and deep eyes, and said: "Let's go back first."

They are not completely safe now.

Shen Wuzheng only looked up at him, then turned to look at the other side, the direction where Xiao Yuansui was retreating. At this time, they had already walked very far, and the soldiers chasing them also slowed down their pace, and some began to retreat in an orderly manner. Shen Wuzheng raised his hand high and said, "Go!"

Soon, the group entered Hulao Pass as they had planned, when the first ray of morning sunlight shone on the rolling waves of the Yellow River that had been surging all night.

On the other side, Xiao Yuansui finally returned to his camp.

In the dim morning light, he could see from afar a busy scene in the camp. Last night, Yuwen Ye brought a few horsemen to turn his camp upside down. Although he had deliberately let it go, he had never expected that these people could cause such trouble. They even broke into the deepest part of the military camp and fell into his trap.

Yuwen Ye's fighting ability is evident from this.

Thinking of this, he became even more angry and regretful - he had missed the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill him last night.

Thinking of this, he could not help but exert some strength in his hands, and when he reined in his horse to stop in front of the camp gate, the horse he was riding let out a long neigh and stood up. This scene scared everyone around him. Hua Ziying, who had already dismounted, immediately stepped forward and helped him hold the horse's bridle.

He said: "General..."

Xiao Yuansui looked down at him, and after a long silence, he waved his hand and said, "Get out of the way." Hua Ziying lowered his head, let go of his hand and stepped aside.

Xiao Yuansui got off his horse and immediately walked towards the camp. After the chaos last night, the soldiers in the camp were still a little frightened, but the tents and fences that were destroyed by the intruders had been rebuilt and repaired. Xiao Yuansui only took a quick look and walked straight to his central army tent.

When he was halfway there, a few people suddenly came out and stopped him.

"General!"

Xiao Yuansui stopped and took a closer look. They were the elite soldiers he had sent out last night, and the person surrounding them was Shi Yutao, who was disheveled and looked extremely embarrassed!
They got him back!

Upon seeing him, Hua Ziying and several other generals breathed a sigh of relief: "General Xiaoshi!"

When these four words rang in his ears again, Shi Yutao's face looked a little ugly, but after a desperate escape that night, he was covered in smoke and dust, and it was impossible to see clearly his changed expression. In fact, his expression didn't seem to be that important all along.

Xiao Yuansui's eyes became even colder.

Facing his sharp and cold eyes, Shi Yutao suppressed the fear and resentment in his heart and said with his head down: "I admit my guilt."

Xiao Yuansui ignored him and waved his hand to let the elite soldiers go to rest and receive their rewards, then walked straight forward. However, he stopped after taking two steps. When he looked back at Shi Yutao, his eyes were sharper than a knife scraping at bones, and he said, "You should be punished by military law. This general will not be partial, but you have to think clearly about how to explain to General Shi first."

Shi Yutao buried his head even lower.

But just as Xiao Yuansui was about to move forward, he finally raised his head and asked, "General, where is my sister? I came back and didn't find her."

Hua Ziying behind him whispered, "General Shi has led his troops back to Luocang to provide assistance."

After saying that, he looked up at the sky. The dawn was breaking in the east, and even they had returned. So he murmured, "Logically, she should be back soon too."

As if to confirm his words, as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out outside the camp gate behind them, but the sound seemed particularly chaotic and panic-stricken, and even mixed with some people's exclamations, as if something unexpected had happened.

Xiao Yuansui immediately turned around, exchanged a glance with Hua Ziying, and immediately walked towards the camp gate.

As expected, a group of people came from outside, but they were stopped by the soldiers at the camp gate because they looked unfamiliar, and each of them was injured and looked suspicious. The young man who led them shouted, "We are from Luoyang, and we are the men of General Chen Cai!"

As soon as he heard Chen Cai's name, Xiao Yuansui stepped forward immediately.

He knew that this time Liang Shide had sent Chen Cai to lead his men to transport grain back to Luocang. Logically, if everything went well, Chen Cai's men should have returned to Luoyang with the grain, and Shi Yuxin, who helped him, should have come back here.

How come the people here are his subordinates?
He immediately asked, "What happened?"

The young man said in a hoarse voice: "We were ambushed and General Chen was killed. Also, the female general who came to our aid was captured!"

"What!?"
