Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1129 A pair of wise eyes

Inside the central army tent, Xiao Yuansui's face turned pale as he listened to the visitor's report.

In fact, when he was halfway through listening, he almost didn't want to listen anymore, but he still listened patiently. Only his hands on his knees and the bulging blue veins on the back of his hands showed his almost violent mood at the moment.

It turns out that this is Yuwen Ye’s real purpose.

Last night, the elites of Hulao Pass were all out, and it almost became an "empty city", so his team rescued Shi Yutao. But in fact, it was Yuwen Ye who used Shi Yutao to exchange for Shi Yuxin back to Luocang.

Although he had plotted against him, it turned out that Yuwen Ye had plotted against him even more!
Although Shi Yutao was rescued, he was captured alive by the enemy because of the mistakes he made in the previous two expeditions. It is impossible for such a person to lead troops into battle again in the short term - military morale is very important. Under the leadership of such a general, the soldiers under him will definitely become uneasy.

So, what Xiao Yuansui rescued was an empty shell.

But Shi Yuxin was different. She was brave, resourceful and good at fighting. It was her suggestion that she led the troops to bypass Huaizhou and Heyang and attack Chang'an directly. Although the plan failed, Shang Ruyi was captured in the end. Moreover, from the statements of those who escaped back from Huiluo Cang, we know that even though Shi Yuxin was ambushed, she did not panic immediately. Instead, she fought with a fierce general like Shentu Tai for dozens of rounds before she was finally defeated and captured after being attacked from both sides.

In this "deal", Xiao Yuansui suffered a huge loss!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuansui felt even more furious, but when he looked up at Hua Ziying, who had a serious expression, and Shi Yutao, who looked pale and lost, as if his soul had not yet returned to his body, he suddenly felt powerless.

If he could have killed Yuwen Ye last night, what would it matter if Shi Yuxin was captured?

After all, he was tricked.

But he also had a vague feeling that it was not him who was plotted against by Yuwen Ye, but... he had always been plotted against by God, so he had a clear chance of winning in Xingluo Cang, but was cut off by Yuwen Ye; he had finally established a good situation in Wanggang Village, but it fell apart because of Yuwen Ye; until now, the one who saved Yuwen Ye from him was Shan Tong'er, the ninth leader of Wanggang Village.

Fengming Xiaoshan, is it fake?

Just as Xiao Yuansui remained silent, Hua Ziying on the side saw that his brows gradually furrowed. This was the second time he saw a dazed and even bewildered look on Xiao Yuansui's face. This was extremely abnormal. His elder brother had always been of a firm character. Otherwise, he would not have been able to survive the siege and pursuit by the imperial court, and he would not have been able to take down the entire Wanggang Village by himself and have the qualifications to compete for the world today.

But at this moment, his eyes were confused and his breathing was disordered. He really looked like a person who was lost and terrified of not being able to find a way out.

Thinking of this, Hua Ziying said carefully: "General."

"..."

Hearing his voice, Xiao Yuansui suddenly came back to his senses. He met Hua Ziying's worried eyes and recalled his inexplicable and even more absurd thoughts just now. He suddenly became angry again, but he couldn't get angry. He just said to the few people who escaped from Huiluo Cang in front of him: "You all go down."

At this time, a middle-aged man among the people asked cautiously: "But, General Xiao, our grain transportation failed this time, what should we do in Luoyang?"

The others also said cautiously: "Yes, the granary in Luoyang is almost empty."

"If we don't get any more food shipped back, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on there."

"General Xiao, you have to think of a solution." Xiao Yuansui's brows gradually knitted together. Seeing his uneasy expression, Hua Ziying immediately said, "The general will make the final decision on this matter. You guys can go down first."

Everyone was about to say something, but at this moment, a soldier walked in. Seeing so many people in the central military tent, he hesitated and didn't speak immediately. Xiao Yuansui realized that this man was the one he sent to guard Shang Ruyi - after such a commotion last night, Shang Ruyi tried his best to rush out of the central military tent, but was finally tied up by his men and barely held down.

Seeing him coming, Xiao Yuansui immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

The soldier hurriedly said, "General, the princess wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, the other people in the big tent fell silent. They looked at each other, as if they were confused. Xiao Yuansui was silent for a moment, then said, "Bring her over here."

"Yes."

The soldier immediately turned around and left. Xiao Yuansui looked at the remaining people and said, "You guys go down."

After hearing what he said, everyone had no choice but to retreat.

As they retreated, they whispered to the youngest and strongest man in the crowd, "Chi Ying, you are the smartest among us, you have to think of a solution. If Luoyang cannot be defended, our families will all suffer."

The young man named Guan Chiying didn't say anything, but just clenched his teeth. Everyone looked at the swelling across his face - it was caused by Chen Cai's whip last night. A lot of blood had seeped out when he was escaping. Now it has begun to form a scab, but it looks even more hideous and terrifying.

Perhaps because his wound was hurting, he had no mood to talk. Thinking of this, everyone could only sigh and move forward.

The steps of this officer Chi Ying were particularly heavy and slow, and he gradually fell behind the team. When he was about to leave, he suddenly looked back and saw the soldier and another young soldier escorting - or rather, escorting a young and beautiful woman into the central military tent.

Almost at the same time, out of his instinct to be sensitive to gazes, Shang Ruyi looked back the moment he walked into the big tent.

Just now she saw a group of dusty people walking out of the central army tent. Among them, this young man stood out particularly. It was not because he was young and tall and was surrounded by the crowd, but because he had a horizontal scar on his face. The scar was so hideous and swollen that it made his whole face a little deformed, making it almost impossible to distinguish his original appearance. However, the eyes above the scar looked calm and bright.

It can be seen that those are a pair of eyes of an intelligent person.

Moreover, these eyes were looking at him.

But before their eyes met and they could see each other's expressions clearly, the tent door closed. Shang Ruyi's breathing became tight and he slowly turned his head to meet the eyes of another smart person.

Xiao Yuansui was sitting in the center of the central military tent, looking at her quietly. Just when Shang Ruyi was distracted by Guan Chiying, Hua Ziying and others also walked out, leaving only the two of them in the entire tent.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and asked, "Who were those people who just walked out?"

"...?"

Xiao Yuansui raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with some surprise: "I thought you would ask about Yu Wenye's life and death first."
